Get the number of elements in a JSON object

[JulesV]

This is a very basic question but I'm asking because I really can't find it.

How can we find the length of an object containing a string and color pair data like the one below?

NOTE: Of course, Select.length doesn't work here.

const Select = 
{
							"Alien": 0xFF651313,
							"Cow": 0xFF291bdf,
							"Bird": 0xFF20df1b,
							"Shark": 0xFF77650e	
};

@JulesV You need to run a loop over the object.

reg count = 0;

for (x in Select)
    count++;

Console.print(count);

@d-healey You've saved me, Thank you!

Can I ask you one last thing?

If I use this in a 2D array format like below, How can I create the ComboBox list with strings that are the first value of each array [0]?

const Select = 
[
		["Alien", 0xFF651313],
		["Cow", 0xFF291bdf],
		["Bird", 0xFF20df1b],
		["Shark", 0xFF77650e]								
];


const var ComboBox1 = Content.getComponent("ComboBox1");
ComboBox1.set("items", Select.join("\n"));

NOTE: I tried to add this in a loop, but it doesn't work.

for (i = 0; i < Select.length; i++)
{
    ComboBox1.set("items", Select[i][0].join("\n")); 
}

@JulesV Do you mean you want the combo box to have the values Alien, Cow, Bird, Shark? Or do you want each of those in a separate combo box?

[JulesV]

@d-healey Yes, the combo box to have the values Alien, Cow, Bird, Shark.

[d.healey]

@JulesV

ComboBox1.setItems(""); // Clear the items

for (x in Select)
    ComboBox1.addItem(x[0]); // Add the items

[JulesV]

@d-healey I got it, Thank you sir!
