I have 2 arrays. users and posts. posts contain a property "post_by" which is the id of one of the users. I need to match the user and push the first & last name into the post object as a new property. Goal is I need to display the name of the user that made the post in a table.
note* I can use javascript, jquery, linq.js or lodash.
fiddle with json fiddle
var users = [
{
"id": "15e640c1-a481-4997-96a7-be2d7b3fcabb",
"first_name": "Kul",
"last_name": "Srivastva",
},
{
"id": "4cada7f0-b961-422d-8cfe-4e96c1fc11dd",
"first_name": "Rudy",
"last_name": "Sanchez",

{

console.log($.map(posts, function(post){
var user = $.grep(users, function(user){
return user.id === post.post_by;
})[0];
post.first_name = user.first_name;
post.last_name = user.last_name;
return post;
}));
