I have select field from where I can select multiple data. Now I want to access that value as key and value like array.
let selected_size = $(this).find(":selected").map(function(i, el) {
var value = $(el).val();
var text = $(el).text();
}).get();
I want to access the select value like this:
[1=>red,2=>green]
The numbers will be the actual value of color.
I tried to do:
let selected_size = $(this).find(":selected").map(function(i, el) {
var value = $(el).val();
var text = $(el).text();
return [value=>text]
}).get();
But this does not seem to work.
In JavaScript, Objects are usually used to store Key / value pairs.
Here's an example using JS's Array.prototype.reduce()
$("select[multiple]").on("input", function() {
const data = $(this).find(":selected").get().reduce((ob, el) => {
ob[el.value] = el.textContent;
return ob
}, {});
console.log(data);
});
<select multiple>
<option value="1">Red</option>
<option value="2">Blue</option>
<option value="3">Green</option>
</select>
