Add array into object










-8














If I have an Object like.



myObj = 
"name":"John",
"age":30



and an array like this.



myObjArr = [
"name":"Ford", "models":[ "Fiesta", "Focus", "Mustang" ] ,
"name":"BMW", "models":[ "320", "X3", "X5" ] ,
"name":"Fiat", "models":[ "500", "Panda" ]
]


How can I merge my array into the object so the output is like



myObj = 
"name":"John",
"age":30,
"cars": [
"name":"Ford", "models":[ "Fiesta", "Focus", "Mustang" ] ,
"name":"BMW", "models":[ "320", "X3", "X5" ] ,
"name":"Fiat", "models":[ "500", "Panda" ]
]



Sorry if this is a redundant question, but for some reason I just get lost with arrays. I have tried push which did not work and cannot find any good example on how to do this.

    This is very basic JS stuff, not even related to json. Ex: myObj.cars = myObjArr

Assign the array as a value to the key "cars"



myObj['cars'] = myObjArr;

    One thing to keep in mind is that myObj.cars and myObjArr now refer to the same object; changes to one will be reflected in the other

You can access the values represented by a particular key value using the . operator.
Hence, myObj.cars should be the value at position represented by the key cars.



So, in order to assign the array in myObjArr to that position in the JSON, it's just the following:



myObj.cars = myObjArr;
