How to retrieve status field from json file using text field as source for identificator code?
My data.json file:
[{
"code":"001",
"status":"ready"
},
{
"code":"002",
"status":"not ready"
}
]
My jquery file:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#ticketsearch').click(function() {
var ticketcode = $('[name=ticketcode]').val();
$('.ticket').text(ticketcode);
$.getJSON('data.json', function(data) {
$('.status').text(data.status);
});
});
});
In this case you need to loop through until you find the code that matches, like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#ticketsearch').click(function() {
var ticketcode = $('[name=ticketcode]').val();
$('.ticket').text(ticketcode);
$.getJSON('data.json', function(data) {
$.each(data, function(i, obj) {
if(obj.code == ticketcode)
$('.status').text(obj.status);
});
});
});
});
If it's an option, just simplify your JSON to where code is the key, like this:
{
"001":"ready",
"002":"not ready"
}
Then you can access it via that key, like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#ticketsearch').click(function() {
var ticketcode = $('[name=ticketcode]').val();
$('.ticket').text(ticketcode);
$.getJSON('data.json', function(data) {
$('.status').text(data[ticketcode]);
});
});
});
ticketcode what do you get? If it's not "001", or "002", etc...when it just isn't finding the key.Which one do you want? You get back an array. If you want the first status: data[0].status. If the 2nd element: data[1].status
You have an array of dictionary objects, so you'll need to use data[0].status up to data[n].status.
