Hello,

I have a UCA that is receiving a Name-Value Pair list.  Is there an easy way to retrieve an item with a particular name?

For example, I want the value of the pair where Name = "Account Number" so I can assign it to a variable.

I know I can iterate through the list, but was wondering if there was an easier way.

Thanks!

Hi Tracy

Not sure if this is "easier" but here is an alternative way (works in a server-side script):

tw.local.myVal = tw.local.myList.listToNativeArray().reduce(function (acc, cur, idx) {
    return (cur.name === "Account Number" ? cur.value : acc);
});

FYI, my team uses server file(s) that hold various utilities and your requirement would be satisfied by a function like this:

Utils.findValueInList = function (list, valueProp, searchProp, searchValue) {
    if (list && list.length > 0) {
        for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
            if (list[i][searchProp] === searchValue) {
                return list[i][valueProp];
            }
        }
    }
};

So your code would just call this function like so:

tw.local.myVal = Utils.findValueInList(tw.local.myList, "value", "name", "Account Number");
