Hello!

I would like to use the javascript filter() method. Is it possible with scripting in Construct 3?

I tried it both in the editors script file and in the add script command in the events.

raids.filter(raids => raids.id === localVars.raidID1)[0].raidMembers.filter(x => x.isConfirmed)

Both times it gave an error message in the console "filter is not a function".

How can I use Javascripts filter() method?

Presumably, raids is null or undefined, so you cannot use raids.filter. Make sure it's actually an array. This is just normal use of JavaScript, it has nothing to do with Construct specifically.

Hmmm. This is strange. raids is a global variable that I parsed AJAX data to. It should be an object.

I described in this post construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/scripting-51/parse-json-objects-return-149689 how I sat it up.

Did I do it wrong?

It's hard to help without seeing more of your project, because it's probably a mistake in your JavaScript code. You could also try using the browser debugger to investigate further.

The JSON object doesn't have an exposed API yet, so you can't manipulate it in scripts. You could however ditch it altogether work solely with scripts for your JSON needs.

First load the JSON file with AJAX, then set a local or global variable to AJAX.LastData.

Inside a script, you could then parse said variable and store the object inside the runtime for later use.

runtime.myArray = JSON.parse(runtime.globalVars.json);

That new "myArray" attribute of the runtime could then be filtered using the filter() method.
