Getting response from json - how to use in javascript

Question

Should be quite an easy one - I'm getting a dictionary in a .cs file and sending it back to .js as a json, using the following:

//return our value
return Response.AsJson(MyDictionary);

The .js file picks it up here:

App.Server.postJSON("/api/stuff/getmyresponse/" + self.id() + "/" + WhatToGet)
    .then(function (r) {
        console.log(r);
    });

This returns the following response, which is expected:

Object {3214368: 939000, 3214369: 701000, 3214370: 581000, $id: "100"}

(though the id isn't really necessary)

Now, what I'm wondering is, in the .js file, how do I start messing around with this data, or at least setting another variable to it and doing stuff like looping through and running some calculations?

have u tried this: assign json to any var and use that variable for (i = 0; i < Object.length; i++) { text += Object[i] + "
"; } — Nouman Bhatti, Feb 28 '17 at 00:08
I can assign the json to another var, such as MyRes, but using MyRes.length or MyRes[0] returns undefined. — user25730, Feb 28 '17 at 00:21

You already have what you need in the 'r' object:

App.Server.postJSON("/api/stuff/getmyresponse/" + self.id() + "/" + WhatToGet) .then(function (r) { console.log(r.3214368); // 939000 console.log(r.3214370); // 581000 });

your code wont work – Jaromanda X Feb 28 '17 at 00:28
What about r[3214368] ... r[3214370]? if r is a dictionary then you should be able to access the data like that and you'll know whether you're receiving a Json or a dictionary. – toxicafunk Feb 28 '17 at 08:23

This seems to do the job somewhat:

var MyRes;
App.Server.postJSON("/api/stuff/getmyresponse/" + self.id() + "/" + WhatToGet)
.then(function (r) {
    MyRes = r;
    for(i in MyRes)
    {
        console.log(i);
        console.log(MyRes[i]);
    }
});
