line 7 fails when checking for arrays, example below
['test'] => { 0: 'test' }
this function changes type array to object:
['a', 'b'] => {0: 'a', 1: 'b'}
this function changes type array to object:
['a', 'b'] => {0: 'a', 1: 'b'}
Inside the reduce, change the value variable from const to let then add another if statement
if (typeof data !== "object") {
return data;
}
return Object.keys(data).reduce(function (accumulator, key) {
const isObject = data[key] !== null && typeof data[key] === "object";
let value = isObject ? compactObject(data[key]) : data[key];
const isEmptyObject = isObject && !Object.keys(value).length;
if (value === undefined) { // || isEmptyObject
return accumulator;
}
if (Array.isArray(data[key])) {
value = Object.values(value);
}
return Object.assign(accumulator, { [key]: value });
}, {});
