Looking for some help in JS. I have an array of array's
var totalOrder = []
function CafeService(meal, starter, main, dessert){//takes value from text box input
var customerOrder = [meal, starter, main, dessert]
totalOrder.push(customerOrder );
}
This is populating correctly.There can be a unlimited amount of orders. I want to check through the order before sending to the kitchen. How can I put each index in the array into strings e.g. to populate the below:
var mealTime;
var mealStarter;
var mealMain;
var mealDessert;
I expect I need to do this with a for each?
foreach (customerOrder in totalOrder){
var mealTime; //how to populate
var mealStarter;
var mealMain;
var mealDessert;
}
EDIT Total Order with one customers order:
var totalOrder = ["Breakfast","Coffee","Toast","Apple"]
You can simply affect those variables using their indexes :
var totalOrder = [];
function CafeService(meal, starter, main, dessert) {
var customerOrder = [meal, starter, main, dessert];
totalOrder.push(customerOrder);
}
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
totalOrder.forEach(function (customerOrder) {
var mealTime = customerOrder[0];
var mealStarter = customerOrder[1];
var mealMain = customerOrder[2];
var mealDessert = customerOrder[3];
console.log(mealTime, mealStarter, mealMain, mealDessert);
});
Or, if you use ES6 syntax, you can use destructuring assignment :
var totalOrder = [];
function CafeService(meal, starter, main, dessert) {
var customerOrder = [meal, starter, main, dessert];
totalOrder.push(customerOrder);
}
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
CafeService('1', 'Salad', 'Hamburger', 'Soda');
totalOrder.forEach(function (customerOrder) {
var [mealTime, mealStarter, mealMain, mealDessert] = customerOrder;
console.log(mealTime, mealStarter, mealMain, mealDessert);
});
Note I used .forEach instead of for...in for reasons; classic for-loop is also a valid option. You could use for...of with ES6.
