How to iterate array using for loop and pass each value in a object

[Priyadharashin1]

Hello

I have the below script to iterate over an array and pass it to an object. But outside the for loop , I get a single value alone

Please provide some suggestion.

var id = ['0beb47131b78d910ceaa20e23b4bcb24', '0e3b835b1b38d910ceaa20e23b4bcbda'];

var name = [];

for (var i in id) {

    var gr = new GlideRecord("table");

    gr.get(id[i]);

    name = gr.u_name.toString();

    obj = {

        txt: name

    };

     gs.info('output 1: ' + id[i] + name);

}

//  return name;

gs.info('output 2: ' + obj.txt);

output:

** Script: output1 : 0beb47131b78d910ceaa20e23b4bcb24 test
*** Script: output1 : 0e3b835b1b38d910ceaa20e23b4bcbda test 2
*** Script: output2 : test 2

Hello @Priyadharashin1 ,

Try below updated script , I have also include Id to show sys_id

var id = ['0beb47131b78d910ceaa20e23b4bcb24', '0e3b835b1b38d910ceaa20e23b4bcbda'];

var result = []; 
for (var i in id) {
    var gr = new GlideRecord("table");
    if (gr.get(id[i])) {  
        var name = gr.u_name.toString(); 
        
        var obj = {
            id: id[i],
            name: name
        };
        
        result.push(obj);

        gs.info('output 1: ID = ' + id[i] + ', Name = ' + name);
    } else {
        gs.info('Record not found for ID: ' + id[i]);
    }
}

gs.info('Final Result: ' + JSON.stringify(result));

Thanka,

Hi Valmik,

Thank you for your response.

I need the output as an object and not an array. Is this possible?

Hello @Priyadharashin1,

Try below code:

// Array of record IDs
var ids = ['0beb47131b78d910ceaa20e23b4bcb24', '0e3b835b1b38d910ceaa20e23b4bcbda'];
var results = []; // Array to store objects with txt field

// Loop through each ID to fetch records
for (var i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
    var gr = new GlideRecord('table'); // Replace 'table' with the actual table name

    // Check if the record exists and fetch it
    if (gr.get(ids[i])) {
        var name = gr.getValue('u_name'); // Safely get the value of 'u_name'

        // Create an object with the desired structure
        var obj = {
            txt: name
        };

        results.push(obj); // Append the object to the results array
        gs.info('Output 1: ID: ' + ids[i] + ', Name: ' + name);
    } else {
        gs.info('Record not found for ID: ' + ids[i]);
    }
}

// Log the final results array
gs.info('Final Results: ' + JSON.stringify(results));

Please mark my solution as Helpful and Accepted, if it works for you in any way!

Thanks

Hi @Priyadharashin1 ,

Use below script.

var id = ['0beb47131b78d910ceaa20e23b4bcb24', '0e3b835b1b38d910ceaa20e23b4bcbda'];
var name = [];
var objArray = []; // Array to hold multiple objects

for (var i = 0; i < id.length; i++) {
    var gr = new GlideRecord("table");
    if (gr.get(id[i])) {
        var currentName = gr.u_name.toString(); // Retrieve name
        name.push(currentName); // Add name to the name array

        // Create object and push to objArray
        var obj = {
            txt: currentName
        };
        objArray.push(obj);

        // Log within the loop
        gs.info('output 1: ID: ' + id[i] + ', Name: ' + currentName);
    }
}

// Log after the loop
gs.info('All names: ' + name.join(', '));
gs.info('All objects: ' + JSON.stringify(objArray));
