I need to pass the data in the given format.

rules : [{
        name:null,
        section:null,
        data   : [{head:null,value:null}]
    }],

This is the problem I am facing. Hope somebody could help me sort out a solution. The snippet is given. I need to pass data in the format given above. If another array is needed inside rules[], it is also fine

Is another array needed for head and value inside data[]. This will be also fine, if needed. Hoping for a help. Please help me to have a solution.

Please change the select to read the issues

    addForm = new Vue({
      el: "#addForm",
      data: {
        rules: [{
          name: null,
          section: null,
          data: [{
            head: null,
            value: null
          }]
        }],

      },
      methods: {
        addNewRules: function() {
          this.rules.push({
            name: null,
            section: null,
            data: [{
              head: null,
              value: null

My approach is basically change the type of the data[0].head and data[0].value depending on the options you selected.

So for example, if you select Rule,2012, then data[0].head would be an object with item and qty as its items. And if you select Act,1961, data[0].head would be an array of numbers (e.g. ['1', '2']) and data[0].value would be an object with area_1 and area_2 or number and model or all the four items.

See and try the code snippet to see the code I added/changed.

(Or compare your code with mine and you'd see the changes.)

addForm = new Vue({
      el: "#addForm",
      data: {
        rules: [{
          name: null,
          section: null,
          data: [{
            head: null,
            value: null
          }]
        }],

      },
      methods: {
        addNewRules: function() {
          this.rules.push({
            name: null,
            section: null,
            data: [{
              head: null,
              value: null
            }]
          });
        },

        removeRuleDataValueProps: function(i) {
          var d = this.rules[i].data[0];

          if (jQuery.inArray('1', d.head) < 0) {
            Vue.delete(d.value, 'area_1');
            Vue.delete(d.value, 'area_2');
          }

          if (jQuery.inArray('2', d.head) < 0) {
            Vue.delete(d.value, 'number');
            Vue.delete(d.value, 'model');
          }
        },

        _setRuleDataHeadDataType: function(i) {
          var d = this.rules[i].data[0],
            h = d.head,
            _h = d._head,
            _restore = true;

          if (undefined === _h) {
            d._head = h;
            _restore = false;
          }

          switch (this.rules[i].name) {
            case 'Rule,2012':
              var a = Array.isArray(h);
              if (a || null === h || 'object' !== typeof h) {
                Vue.set(d, 'head', {});
              }

              break;

            case 'Act,1961':
              if (!Array.isArray(h)) {
                Vue.set(d, 'head', []);
              }

              break;

            default:
              if (_restore && undefined !== _h) {
                d.head = _h;
              }

              break;
          }
        },

        _setRuleDataValueDataType: function(i) {
          var d = this.rules[i].data[0],
            v = d.value,
            _v = d._value,
            _restore = true;

          if (undefined === _v) {
            d._value = v;
            _restore = false;
          }

          switch (this.rules[i].name) {
            case 'Act,1972':
            case 'Act,1961':
              var a = Array.isArray(v);
              if (a || null === v || 'object' !== typeof v) {
                Vue.set(d, 'value', {});
              }

              if (_restore) {
                this.removeRuleDataValueProps(i);
              }

              break;

            default:
              if (_restore && undefined !== _v) {
                d.value = _v;
              }

              break;
          }
        },

        setRuleDataType: function(i, k) {
          if (this.rules[i] && this.rules[i].data[0]) {
            if (!k || 'head' === k) {

  • Did you try the code snippet? It worked fine for me. And if you compared my code with your original code, I loaded jQuery on the page. See the HTML panel of the code snippet editor. `` (but it doesn't have to be version `2.1.1`) – Sally CJ May 21 '18 at 13:19
  • i am using jquery-3.2.1.min.js – Wanderer May 21 '18 at 14:49
  • AS soon as I write v-if="jQuery.inArray('1', bok.data[0].head) > -1" i am getting the above error – Wanderer May 21 '18 at 14:57
  • I'm not getting that error? And I've actually tested the code with jQuery version 3.3.1 and 1.12.4, and both worked fine. Try editing the code snippet and change the `2.1.1` to `3.2.1` and it should still work fine. So can you paste your code (or the code you attempted) on Pastebin and share its link here? – Sally CJ May 21 '18 at 15:31
  • Alternatively, add a new method to the `methods` options of the Vue instance (i.e. `addForm`): `inArray: function( value, arr ) { return jQuery.inArray( value, arr ); }` and replace `v-if="jQuery.inArray('1', bok.data[0].head) > -1"` with `v-if="inArray('1', bok.data[0].head) > -1"` – Sally CJ May 21 '18 at 15:46

My opinion,

  1. Based on the HTML you provied, create one data property=ruleTemplate (it makes sure v-model with related form controls).

  2. When add new rules, push one clone of the template to the rules

  3. When you need the data, just convert the rules to the specific format like this.getFormattedRules in below demo.

Below is the demo:

addForm = new Vue({
      el: "#addForm",
      data: {
        ruleTemplates: {
          name: '',
          section: '',
          subMenu: {
          'Act,1972': '',
          'Rule,2012': {'item': '','qty': ''},
          'Act,1961': {'head':[], options:{'option1':'', 'option2':''}}
          }
        },
        rules: [{
            name: '',
            section: '',
            subMenu: {
            'Act,1972': '',
            'Rule,2012': {'item': '','qty': ''},
            'Act,1961': {'head':[], options:{'option1':'', 'option2':''}}
            }
          }
        ],
      },
      computed: {
        formatedJson: function () {
          let handler1972 = function (data) {
            return [{'head': 'Arms', 'value': data}]
          }
          let handler2012 = function (data) {
            return [{'head': 'item', 'value': data.item},{'head': 'qty', 'value': data.qty}]
          }
          let handler1961 = function (data) {
            return [{'head': 'option1', 'value': data.options.option1},{'head': 'option1', 'value': data.options.option2}]
          }
          let handlers = {'Act,1972': handler1972, 'Rule,2012': handler2012, 'Act,1961': handler1961
          }
          return this.rules.map((rule) => {
            let formatedRule = new Object()
            // convert the rule to the specific format
            formatedRule.name = rule.name
            formatedRule.section = rule.section
            handler = handlers[rule.name]
            formatedRule.data = handler ? handler(rule.subMenu[rule.name]) : []
            return formatedRule
          })
        }
      },
      methods: {
        addNewRules: function() {
          this.rules.push(Object.assign({},this.ruleTemplates))
        }
      }
    })
