Parse data with no String name

SimonKing_Atolls · 2025-04-03T11:28:35+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am building a new connector and some of the JSON data has no string names i.e.

{"user1":["PC1"],"user2":["PC4","PC5"],"user3":["PC1","PC2"]…..

If I use magicparse I just get 2 (very long) rows, where I'm after a column of names and a column of where they are seen.

is it possible to reference the data in another way such as

for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){

datagrid.addCell(data[i].[1])

datagrid.addCell(data[i].[2])

…..

Hi @SimonKing_Atolls

You'll need two loops, one for each user and one for each pc:

jsonData = {"user1":["PC1"],"user2":["PC4","PC5"],"user3":["PC1","PC2"]}

datagrid.addColumn('User',datagrid.DATA_TYPE_STRING)
datagrid.addColumn('PC',datagrid.DATA_TYPE_STRING)

for (var user in jsonData) {
    if (jsonData.hasOwnProperty(user)) {
        DOMO.log("User: " + user);
        var pcs = jsonData[user];
        for (var i = 0; i < pcs.length; i++) {
            DOMO.log("  PC: " + pcs[i]);
            datagrid.addCell(user);
            datagrid.addCell(pcs[i]);
            datagrid.endRow();
        }
    }
}
