Get object key using async.each

Question

I have some JSON data as follows:

{ 
    version: 1,
    partitions: { 
        '0': [ 1616133379 ], 
        '1': [ 1616133378 ], 
        '2': [ 1616133380 ] 
    } 
}

I am looping through the data using async.each as follows:

async.each(topicData.partitions, function(data, callback){
    console.log('/brokers/topics/' + topic + '/partitions/' + data + '/state');
    callback();
},
function(err){
    if(err) {
        console.log(err);
        callback(err);
    }
});

The output I'm getting is:

'/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/1616133379/state' '/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/1616133378/state' '/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/1616133380/state'

As you can see the data item passed through the async.each function is holding the value of the key/value pair whereas I actually want it to pass the key to produce this output:

'/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/0/state' '/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/1/state' '/brokers/topics/testing/partitions/2/state'

Is there anyway I can get the key passed as opposed to the value?

This has to be run asynchronously.

Thanks

You could use forEachOf, the iterator gets passed the value and key of each item in case of an object.

iterator(item, key, callback) - A function to apply to each item in obj. The key is the item's key, or index in the case of an array. The iterator is passed a callback(err) which must be called once it has completed. If no error has occurred, the callback should be run without arguments or with an explicit null argument.

Usage:

async.forEachOf(topicData.partitions, function(item, key, callback){
  console.log('/brokers/topics/' + topic + '/partitions/' + key + '/state');
  callback();
}, function(err){
  if(err) {
    console.log(err);
    callback(err);
  }
});

Perfect that worked thank you. I'm new to the async library so hadn't seen that one yet — Jon Hunter, Jul 02 '15 at 09:03

Try to put this in your loop.

console.log(topicData.partitions.indexOf(data));

That just threw an error `console.log(topicData.partitions.indexOf(data)); ^ TypeError: Object # – Jon Hunter Jul 02 '15 at 08:59
