JSON Object array inside array find and replace in javascript

Question

I have one JSON Object like this :

var myObject = [    
{
    \"Name\" : \"app1\",
    \"id\" : \"1\",
    \"groups\" : [
        { \"id\" : \"test1\", 
             


        

Answer 1

Here's a different approach using Array.prototype.some. It assumes that the Name property in the outer objects should be actually be name (note capitalisation).

function updateNameById(obj, id, value) {
  Object.keys(obj).some(function(key) {
    if (obj[key].id == id) {
      obj[key].name = value;
      return true;  // Stops looping
    }
      // Recurse over lower objects
      else if (obj[key].groups) {
      return updateNameById(obj[key].groups, id, value);
    }
  })
}

The advantage of some is that it stops as soon as the callback returns true.
