How to create dynamic table with JSON data?

Question

I have a HTML table which I am making with the help of JSON data, I am creating my table with the help of javascript only and my table is dynamic

I have a array of json inside which I have several objects which are having the data.

from this JSON I am trying to make a HTML table

• I have successfully created the header but facing issue in creating the body part

• I am trying to create this kind of table:

  

• Average is like sum of all cancelled bills divided by no.of outlet, that's why I am calculating length of outlets and storing it in a global variable

• As my code is bit of long I have commented my all lines where I am doing what and facing what issues where
• Inside the body part I don't know how can I populate the canceled bills data with respect to outlet and same for duplicate bills also

This is what I have done till now:

var outletCount = 0; //global variable to get the no of outlets
var data = [{
    "outlet": "JAYANAGAR",
    "cancelled": 126544,
    "duplicate": 1
  },
  {
    "outlet": "MALLESHWARAM",
    "cancelled": 31826,
    "duplicate": 31
  },
  {
    "outlet": "KOLAR",
    "cancelled": 10374,
    "duplicate": 10
  }
];

let formatData = function(data) { //outlets is unique thats why formating it to loop forward in my code
  let outlets = [];
  data.forEach(element => {
    if (outlets.indexOf(element.outlet) == -1) {
      outlets.push(element.outlet);
    }
  });
  outletCount = outlets.length //calculating outlet count

  return {
    data: data,
    outlets: outlets,

  };
};

let renderTable = function(data) {
  outlets = data.outlets;
  data = data.data;
  let tbl = document.getElementById("tblOlSalesSummary");
  let table = document.createElement("table");
  let thead = document.createElement("thead");
  let headerRow = document.createElement("tr");
  let th = document.createElement("th");
  th.innerHTML = "Bill Type"; //header
  th.classList.add("text-center");
  headerRow.appendChild(th);
  th = document.createElement("th");
  th.innerHTML = "Average"; //header
  th.classList.add("text-center");
  headerRow.appendChild(th);
  outlets.forEach(element => {
    th = document.createElement("th");
    th.innerHTML = element; //this one is populating outlet as header
    th.classList.add("text-center");

    headerRow.appendChild(th);

  });

  thead.appendChild(headerRow);
  table.appendChild(thead);

  let tbody = document.createElement("tbody"); // from here onwards i don't know what to do

  let row = document.createElement("tr");

  let total = 0;
  outlets.forEach(outlet => { //i am trying to loop through outlets but getting somthing else
    let el = 0;
    data.forEach(d => {
      if (d.outlet == outlet) {
        total += parseInt(d.cancelled);
        el = d.cancelled;
      }
    });
    td = document.createElement("td");
    td.innerHTML = el.toLocaleString('en-in');
    td.classList.add("text-right");
    row.appendChild(td);
  });
  /* console.log("row is : " , row.children ) */

  tbody.appendChild(row);


  table.appendChild(tbody);
  tbl.innerHTML = "";
  tbl.appendChild(table);
  table.classList.add("table");
  table.classList.add("table-striped");
  table.classList.add("table-bordered");
  table.classList.add("table-hover");
}
let formatedData = formatData(data);
renderTable(formatedData);

I am not getting the point to loop my canceled bill and duplicate bill with respect to outlets and then calculate average.

Answer 1

There were two static field column in your table billtype and average which needed to be appended before looping the json data

 var outletCount = 0; //global variable to get the no of outlets
var data = [{
    "outlet": "JAYANAGAR",
    "cancelled": 126544,
    "duplicate": 1
  },
  {
    "outlet": "MALLESHWARAM",
    "cancelled": 31826,
    "duplicate": 31
  },
  {
    "outlet": "KOLAR",
    "cancelled": 10374,
    "duplicate": 10
  },
  {
    "outlet": "New Test",
    "cancelled": 154,
    "duplicate": 20
  }
];

let formatData = function(data) { //outlets is unique thats why formating it to loop forward in my code
  let outlets = [];
  data.forEach(element => {
    if (outlets.indexOf(element.outlet) == -1) {
      outlets.push(element.outlet);
    }
  });
  outletCount = outlets.length //calculating outlet count

  return {
    data: data,
    outlets: outlets,

  };
};

let renderTable = function(data) {
  outlets = data.outlets;
  data = data.data;
  let tbl = document.getElementById("tblOlSalesSummary");
  let table = document.createElement("table");
  let thead = document.createElement("thead");
  let headerRow = document.createElement("tr");
  let th = document.createElement("th");
  th.innerHTML = "Bill Type"; //header
  th.classList.add("text-center");
  headerRow.appendChild(th);
  th = document.createElement("th");
  th.innerHTML = "Average"; //header
  th.classList.add("text-center");
  headerRow.appendChild(th);
  outlets.forEach(element => {
    th = document.createElement("th");
    th.innerHTML = element; //this one is populating outlet as header
    th.classList.add("text-center");

    headerRow.appendChild(th);

  });

  thead.appendChild(headerRow);
  table.appendChild(thead);

  let tbody = document.createElement("tbody"); // from here onwards i don't know what to do

  let row = document.createElement("tr");

  let total = 0;

  // static field insertion for Cancelled bill
  let el = 'Cancelled bill';
  td = document.createElement("td");
  td.innerHTML = el.toLocaleString('en-in');

  let el_avg = ( total_cancel / (total_can_count) );
  td = document.createElement("td");
  td.innerHTML = el_avg.toLocaleString('en-in');
  td.classList.add("text-right");
