Transform For Loop Issue

[mj23412]

Any ideas why my iterator isnt picking up in my concat function? The iterator i is indeed updating with each pass of the for but not in the concat.

workids should be
const workids = []

Instead of concat in the loop use
workids.push(stuff_youre_iterating_over);

Thanks Scott, but I need the results as a string so I can use it in another HTTP call. Either case the iterator still didn't update in the write statements.

[ScottR]

Remove the second param (comma) in the push.
What should the formatting be for the http call?

[mj23412]

Same thing. The iterator I doesn't update during write, but if put I into console it would show as incrementing as expected.

API call should be formatted like this, this transform is for the ids param of the call.
GET https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/_apis/wit/workitems?**ids=297,299,300**&api-version=7.0

tried this to using the array and then return a .join() but the i inside .push() isn't iterating as expected, resulting in the same record being added to the array

var workids = [];
for (var i = 0; i < GetWorkItemsByUserName.data.length; i++) {
workids.push(GetWorkItemsByUserName.data[i].id);
}
return workids.join(',');

output is repeating [i] = 0 in the array

[ScottR]

const dataRetreived = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]; // this is your GetWorkItems data
const workids = [];
for(i=0;i< dataRetreived.length; i++){
  workids.push(dataRetreived[i]);
}
return "http://testurl.com?ids=" + _.toString(workids).replace(/\"/g, "")

Thanks for you help! Taking the static value approach I was able to work through the source data 'dataretrieved' and was able to back into the data I needed.

Thanks for the assist!!!

var workids = [];
var data = {{formatDataAsObject(GetWorkItemsByUserName.data).id}}

for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
workids.push(data[i]);
}
return workids.join(',');
