I access it through Javascipt code const data = require('./countries.json');. What I need from this .json file is translation keys, for example ces, deu, etc. I need to retrieve them dynamically and store in the array called keys. After that, depending on user’s input, if input is equal to one of the keys from an array it should print official name of all countries using this key.
In my Javascript code I use following methods to do so:
const data = require('./countries.json');
const keys = [];
data.forEach((element) => {
Object.keys(element.translations).forEach((item) => {
keys.push(item);
}) ;
});
/**
*Removes all duplicate translation keys
*@param {1} keys of translation keys
*@return {unique} a unique array of translation keys
*/
function removeDuplicates (keys) {
const unique = [];
keys.forEach((element) => {
if (!unique.includes(element)) {
unique.push(element);
}
});
return unique;
}
const enteredKey = process.argv.slice(2);
console.log('Key is : ', enteredKey);
if (enteredKey.length < 2 && enteredKey !== null && removeDuplicates(keys).includes(enteredKey[0])) {
try {
for (const {translations} of data) {
const key = translations[enteredKey]?.official;
if (key) {
console.log(key);
}
}
}
Please note that I am using const key = translations[enteredKey]?.official; because there are a lot of countries and few of them do not have some keys, like cym key is appear in only half of the countries. Without [enteredKey]?.official program will crush because it won’t be able to find this key and define it.
Now I need to the same, but with python3. I have tried :
f = open('./countries.json')
translationKeys = json.load(f)
keys = []
for i in translationKeys[0]["translations"]:
keys.append(i)
print(keys)
f.close()
but the output was really messy:
['ces']
['ces', 'deu']
['ces', 'deu', 'est']
['ces', 'deu', 'est', 'fin']
Since I am not familiar with python at all, I am curious how to retrieve and store these keys the same way I did that in Javascript and print value of these keys depend on user’s input.
I will leave a github link for those who wish to see entire project to get more context if needed: https://github.com/TheRadioDept/technical-question
