This is an object to be processed:
var q = {
email: {contains: "[email protected]"},
name: {contains: "someuser"}
};
I would like to go through each key of q and if the corresponding value is an object that has the property contains then replace it with $regex.

You can try the following way:
var q = {
email: {contains: "[email protected]"},
name: {contains: "someuser"}
};
for(var k in q){
if(q[k].hasOwnProperty('contains')){
Object.defineProperty(q[k], '$regex',
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(q[k], 'contains'));
delete q[k]['contains'];
}
}
console.log(q); for(const obj of Object.values(q)) {
obj.$regex = obj.contains;
delete obj.contains;
}
Just go over all values inside q and copy the contains property into the $regex property.
q contains a non object property. The loop could be secured with if (obj.hasOwnProperty("contains"))To iterate over object keys first you have to fetch them, here is one simple approach
const keys = Object.keys(q); // ["email", "name"]
Now iterate over the array which we got and perform regex testing;
keys.forEach(key => {
let value = q[key].contains;
// create $regex and assign value
// remove .contains
})
You can loop through the objects and first put current value of contains property in $regex and then delete the contains property.
Below is working code:
var q = {
email: {
contains: "[email protected]"
},
name: {
contains: "someuser"
}
};
for (var i of Object.values(q)) {
if (i.hasOwnProperty("contains")) {
i.$regex = i.contains;
delete i.contains;
}
}
console.log(q);
var q = {
email: {contains: "[email protected]"},
name: {contains: "someuser"}
};
Object.keys(q).forEach(k => {
if (typeof q[k].contains != 'undefined'){
q[k].$regex = q[k].contains;
delete q[k].contains;
}
})
console.log(q);Other version using Es 6 features

for (let propName in q) {

};

q[item].$regex = q[item].contains;
delete q[item].contains;
}
})
