How to get Key by passing Value?

[Narayan K]

Hi there,

I have created system property with key value pair. In script I can return value by passing key but is it possible to return key by passing value?

Thanks!

I believe I answered your original question.

In that you didn't mention there would be multiple values in 1 key

but this code should work for you

var prop = '{"LATAM":["Argentina","India","Brazil"],"EU":["UK","France"],"US":"United States"}';
var obj = JSON.parse(prop);
var searchValue = 'India';
var foundKey = null;

for (var key in obj) {
  var val = obj[key];
  if ((Array.isArray(val) && val.indexOf(searchValue) !== -1) ||
      val === searchValue) {
    foundKey = key;
    break;
  }
}

gs.info('Key for value "' + searchValue + '" is: ' + foundKey);

Resolved:



var propertyValue = gs.getProperty('testproperty');

//{"LATAM":["Argentina", "India", "Brazil"]}

var regionMap = JSON.parse(propertyValue);



var targetCountry = 'India';



for (var region in regionMap) {

    var countries = regionMap[region];

    if (countries.indexOf(targetCountry) !== -1) {

        gs.info("country" + targetCountry + "has region " + region);

       

    }

}
