How to copy data multiple times

[Walkback]

I have a requirement, where by I need to copy the same data into all the entries in a JSON array. The data I need to copy is

“countryIso” : “GB”
“sessionId” : “ed7e8228-a82b-44e0-adea-caee6c61a987”

I have an typical JSON array structure:

"orderLine": [
   {
	  "orderLineNumber": "000004",
	  "product": "21909232109737",
	  "productName": "Avon WT7 Snow (Winter Tyre) 195/65 R15 T (91)",
	  "quantity": "48",
	  "unitPrice": "44.34"
   },
   {
	  "orderLineNumber": "000013",
	  "product": "039400014592",
	  "productName": "Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5225/40 R18 Y (92)",
	  "quantity": "32",
	  "unitPrice": "38.88"
   },

Then I want to copy countryIso and sessionId to each array entry, like this:

"orderLine": [
   {
	  "orderLineNumber": "000004",
	  "product": "21909232109737",
	  "productName": "Avon WT7 Snow (Winter Tyre) 195/65 R15 T (91)",
	  "quantity": "48",
	  "unitPrice": "44.34",
	  "countryIso" : "GB",
	  "orderId" :  "ed7e8228-a82b-44e0-adea-caee6c61a987"
   },
   {
	  "orderLineNumber": "000013",
	  "product": "039400014592",
	  "productName": "Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5225/40 R18 Y (92)",
	  "quantity": "32",
	  "unitPrice": "11.88"
	  "countryIso" : "GB",
	  "orderId" :  "ed7e8228-a82b-44e0-adea-caee6c61a987"
   },

I have used extend to add the fields, but try as I might I just can’t copy the data to each entry, has anybody done anything similar?

Hey @Walkback,

Use the .map() method on $orderLine. The expression should look something like this:

$orderLine.map(x=>x.extend({"countryIso" : "GB","sessionId" : "ed7e8228-a82b-44e0-adea-caee6c61a987"}))

Here’s also a sample pipeline:

Thank you for your feedback, but I have already tried that. I’m currently using a mapper snap (which maybe the wrong way to do it) used the data once, but there are after errors, because the 2 values are both null.

Is there a means of retaining the 2 values?

What should happen if the values are null? You can either filter those with a filter function:

$orderLine.filter(y=>y!=null)

or keep them as nulls with extending the expression with a ternary operator:

$orderLine.map(x=>x != null ? x.extend({"countryIso" : "GB","sessionId" : "ed7e8228-a82b-44e0-adea-caee6c61a987"}) : x)

It’s not clear how your countryIso and sessionId fields enter the pipeline (are they constants, pipeline parameters?), but I’ve attached an example that’s pretty simple and doesn’t involve javascript expressions. Uses a Splitter to break out the lines, then a mapper to add the countryIso and sessionId (orderId?), then a GroupBy to put it all back together. You can use a JSON formatter to spit it back out depending on what your are doing with it. Hope this gives you some ideas anyway.
