Javascript - change a json object array values into multiple strings
I am receiving an json object from an API. What I do after (just for information: some string analysis of each key value), works great for 90% of these objects I receive as the key value is a string as show below.
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'wesbite',
utm_medium: 'redirection',
utm_campaign: 'media'}
But for 10% of them, some of the keys might be arrays, like below:
problematicJson =
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'website',
utm_medium: [ 'redirection', 'somethingelse' ],
utm_campaign: [ 'nicestuff', 'again' ] }
I would need to change the object above into this new object so that my script analysis, which requires pure strings, work.
Using javascript, how to "break" and recreate the object problematicJson into what's below
allStringsJson =
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'website',
utm_medium: 'redirection',
utm_medium = 'somethignelse',
utm_campaign: 'nicestuff',
utm_campaign = 'again' }
I also need to deal with a special case: when the values isndie the array are the same like below:
problematicJsonWithSimilarValues =
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'website',
utm_medium: [ 'redirection', 'redirection' ],
utm_campaign: [ 'lorem', 'lorem' ] }
So I need to write somethign where I don't get multiple lines where the key AND the vlaue are the same, like
allStringsJson =
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'wesbite',
utm_medium: 'redirection',
utm_medium = 'redirection',
utm_campaign: 'lorem',
utm_campaign = 'lorem' }
But I need to remove those similar lines from the new clean json object which would be for problematicJsonWithSimilarValues:
cleanObject =
{ ID: '0012784',
utm_source: 'website',
utm_medium: 'redirection',
utm_campaign = 'lorem' }
I tried a bunch of methods like reduce, split...to no success.
How to achieve this ?

You cannot have assignments likeutm_medium = 'somethignelse',in Javascript objects. Also note that none of the code snippets you present are JSON.

This wouldn't work.
In JSON and in a Javascript Object each key ist unique. So you could not have more than one property named utm_medium.
But you could use Array.join, to create a single string concatinated with all of the elements in the array. Do something like:
utm_medium: Array.isArray(utm_medium) ? utm_medium.split(' ') : utm_medium
