I am trying to do this now and I wonder if there is a "the most used" method to join an associative array (it's values) into a string, delimited by a character.
For example, I have
var AssocArray = { id:0, status:false, text:'apple' };
The string resulted from joining the elements of this object will be
"0, false, 'apple'" or "0, 0, 'apple'"
if we join them with a "," character Any idea? Thanks!
The implementation of functions like Object.map, Object.forEach and so on is still being discussed. For now, you can stick with something like this:
function objectJoin(obj, sep) {
var arr = [], p, i = 0;
for (p in obj)
arr[i++] = obj[p];
return arr.join(sep);
}
Edit: using a temporary array and joining it instead of string concatenation for performance improvement.
Edit 2: it seems that arr.push(obj[p]); instead of incrementing a counter can actually be faster in most of recent browsers. See comments.
