Merge Javascript objects, can't seem to find correct way

Question

Hi i've been struggling a bit and i cant seem to find why the methods i found dont work, could be "fixture-0"

First Object array

personformdata[i]: "{"isInvalid":false,"agentRole":"role"}"

Second

address_ids[i] : "[{"address_id": "fixture-0" }]"

preferable out come, something like this.

"{"isInvalid":false,"agentRole":"role", "address_id": "fixture-0"}"

I think one of them aint object or something. 5hrs non stop. cant think anymoar — kristjan reinhold, Jan 29 '14 at 12:44
@CD.. Duplicate does not apply. He's having a specific problem merging, not looking for how to merge. — Deestan, Jan 29 '14 at 12:45
@kristjanreinhold Try typing one object directly into the interpreter. See if it looks correct. — Deestan, Jan 29 '14 at 12:45
Also, put your code and a description of the error in the actual question. — Deestan, Jan 29 '14 at 12:47

you can use :

var object = $.extend({}, object1, object2);

for xample you can visit this url. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.extend/

If you want to create a new array with merged objects, just do this with a for loop:

        var newData = { };

        for (var i = 0; i < personformdata.length; i++)
        {
            newData[i] = { 
                isInvalid : personformdata[i].isInvalid,
                agentRole : personformdata[i].agentRole,
                address_id : address_ids[i].address_id
            };
        }

you can do it like:

var mergedObj={};
for(var key in personformdata[i])
    mergedObj[key]=personformdata[i][key];
for(var key in address_ids[i])
    mergedObj[key]=address_ids[i][key];

or if you use jQuery:

var mergedObj={};
$.extend(mergedObj, personformdata[i], address_ids[i]);

I myself usually use vanilla JavaScript and prefer not using jQuery.
