Filter an Object

Posted on by JeffGimo 221

I parsed my input and here's what it looks like:

Now, I want to filter the output to get the items that has true values.

For this example, I'm looking to get

GraphixManga, Mystery and SciFiFantasy.

 

I tried searching the same problem but I only see filter array options. Please help.

    Hi @JeffGimo 

     

    Not the straight forward method but you could do this way. Here it is

    Above I used the below expression

     

    split(replace(replace(string(outputs('Compose')),'{',''),'}',''),',')
     
    This stage we have set of array values. Next we need to iterate the array and find the true values. So for this we need an Apply to Each loop and map the output from Compose2 above. See below for details.

    Above Compose 3 expression I used is
     
    bool(last(split(items('Apply_to_each'),':')))
     
    Then under the Append to array variable the expression is as follows:
     
    first(split(items('Apply_to_each'),':'))
     
    Final results are as follows:

    hi @abm I am having trouble with this as I try to filter on null values. All the null values gets passed through anyway. I wonder if it's due to the / symbols... Ideas on what to do?

    replace(item('this_loop'),'\"','') worked for me.

    Then I did 

    json(concat('{',replace(item('this_loop'),'\"',''),'}'))

    to put the items in to a variable object array.

    It turned 

    {a:1,b:2,c:3}

    into 

    [{a:1},{b:2},{c:3}]
