How to Update/Replace Specific Indices in Variable with Nested Arrays

KillerK009

I have 2 variables

program

and

reducedProgram

that have identical structure and represent a workout program

.

Each has a

days

property which is an array of days

. Each

day

element contains an

exercises

property which is an array of exercises on that day

. Each

exercise

element contains an

index

property signifying it

's position in that day

.

I want to take all the exercises from the

reducedProgram

and replace the same exercise in the

program

variable matching the

day

and

exercise.index

value

.

This seems like a relatively straightforward operation

, but I

've been trying to do this via a Toddle formula can

't quite figure it out

!

I even tried a custom action as provided by the AI

, but this doesn

't seem to work either

.

const { program, reducedProgram } = args;

// Iterate through the days in reducedProgram
reducedProgram.days.forEach((reducedDay, dayIndex) => {
// Ensure the day exists in the original program
if (program.days[dayIndex]) {
// Iterate through the exercises in the reduced day
reducedDay.exercises.forEach((exercise) => {
// Check if the exercise has an index property
if (typeof exercise.index === 'number') {
// Replace the exercise at the specified index
program.days[dayIndex].exercises[exercise.index] = exercise;
}
});
}
});

// Set the updated program to the 'program' variable
ctx.setVariable('program', program);

Any ideas on how to do this

?

Can you post an example of the data

Or a video

Sounds like it could be done either way

, with toddle formulas or with code

Here

's a simple workout program

, it has 2 days Upper A and Upper B

.

Each day has 3 exercises with each exercise associated with a muscle group and

index

property which represents the order in that day

.

It

's represented by this JSON data

:

{
"days": [
{
"name": "Upper A",
"exercises": [
{
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"ID": 1,
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 0,
"tag": "010100",
"label": "day01Chest00"
},
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 1,
"tag": "010101",
"label": "day01Chest01"
},
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 2,
"tag": "010500",
"label": "day01Back00"
}
],
"dayIndex": 0
},
{
"name": "Upper B",
"exercises": [
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 0,
"tag": "020500",
"label": "day02Back00"
},
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 1,
"tag": "020501",
"label": "day02Back01"
},
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 2,
"tag": "020100",
"label": "day02Chest00"
}
],
"dayIndex": 1
}
],
"weeks": 3,
"units": "lb"
}

I create a copy and reduce this to a program where I only keep the

last

exercise for each muscle group from each day and do some calculations to add the

rateGroup

and

numRatingExercises

properties to each of these exercises

:

{
"days": [
{
"name": "Upper A",
"exercises": [
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 1,
"tag": "010101",
"label": "day01Chest01",
"numRatingExercises": 1,
"rateGroup": "0201"
},
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 2,
"tag": "010500",
"label": "day01Back00",
"numRatingExercises": 2,
"rateGroup": "0205"
}
],
"dayIndex": 0
},
{
"name": "Upper B",
"exercises": [
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 1,
"tag": "020501",
"label": "day02Back01",
"numRatingExercises": 1,
"rateGroup": "0105"
},
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 2,
"tag": "020100",
"label": "day02Chest00",
"numRatingExercises": 2,
"rateGroup": "0101"
}
],
"dayIndex": 1
}
],
"weeks": 3,
"units": "lb"
}

Now I want to take all these exercises in the reduced program which have these new properties added and place each one back into the original program at the correct day and

index

in the given day

.

Seems like it

'd be relatively straightforward with code like this

:

// Iterate through the days in reducedProgram
reducedProgram.days.forEach((reducedDay, dayIndex) => {
// Ensure the day exists in the original program
if (program.days[dayIndex]) {
// Iterate through the exercises in the reduced day
reducedDay.exercises.forEach((exercise) => {
// Check if the exercise has an index property
if (typeof exercise.index === 'number') {
// Replace the exercise at the specified index
program.days[dayIndex].exercises[exercise.index] = exercise;
}
});
}
});

Since I couldn

't figure out how to implement this in a Toddle formula

.

But I was having issues getting my custom code to work in an action

, but I guess that

's because an action isn

't supposed to actually update a Toddle variable directly

.

So I think I need to do it as a formula based on my findings in

[my other question

]

)

But it woul be nice if I could just do it as a typical Toddle formula without needing custom code I guess

I had thought about making my own simple app to track workouts a while back but ended up just using Notes lol

KillerK009

Building a whole tracker may be way down the line but is probably beyond my abilities in Toddle right now

😅

I was actually just trying to build a workout program generator that does calculations based on the muscle groups and order of days and such and outputs in a format to run it using

[Liftosaur

]

(

https://www.liftosaur.com/

) which is a pretty cool tracking app with a basic scripting language that allows you to add logic to your workout routine and automate things

.

I already built a decently complex

[custom program

]

(

https://www.reddit.com/r/liftosaur/comments/1gt5ncf/rp_hypertrophy_program_v3_release/

) in Liftosaur that automates a lot of progression and such but it takes an annoying amount of one

-time manual setup to hard

-code some values based on how many exercises you have per muscle group and what days they are in your program and I was hoping to use a relatively simple Toddle web app to automate that part and make it easier to just lay out exercises and then generate the output text in the Liftosaur format with all the calculations already done

I think the output JSON should look like this

:

{
"days": [
{
"name": "Upper A",
"exercises": [
{
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"ID": 1,
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 0,
"tag": "010100",
"label": "day01Chest00"
},
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 1,
"tag": "010101",
"label": "day01Chest01",
"numRatingExercises": 1,
"rateGroup": "0201"
},
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 2,
"tag": "010500",
"label": "day01Back00",
"numRatingExercises": 2,
"rateGroup": "0205"
}
],
"dayIndex": 0
},
{
"name": "Upper B",
"exercises": [
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 0,
"tag": "020500",
"label": "day02Back00"
},
{
"ID": 5,
"muscleGroup": "Back",
"exercise": "Pull Up, Bodyweight",
"index": 1,
"tag": "020501",
"label": "day02Back01",
"numRatingExercises": 1,
"rateGroup": "0105"
},
{
"ID": 1,
"muscleGroup": "Chest",
"exercise": "Bench Press, Barbell",
"index": 2,
"tag": "020100",
"label": "day02Chest00",
"numRatingExercises": 2,
"rateGroup": "0101"
}
],
"dayIndex": 1
}
],
"weeks": 3,
"units": "lb"
}

Where it

's basically the full original program but the last exercise for each muscle group in each day has been replaced with the one from the

reducedProgram

Interesting

I have Strong actually lol it

’s pretty good but I don

’t always use it

Idk man creating a good routine from scratch for people sounds harder than tracking

. So much can go into that

Lucas G

So if I understand correctly

. The function takes in this

https://discord.com/channels/972416966683926538/1329575603262722112/1329993762788610160

and this

https://discord.com/channels/972416966683926538/1329575603262722112/1329993850273529966

And should output

https://discord.com/channels/972416966683926538/1329575603262722112/1329999761373270146

@KillerK009

is that right

?

And can you verify that the output is correct

@Lucas G

@KillerK009

is that right

?

KillerK009

Yup that

's it

!

Take every exercise from every day in the

reducedProgram

object and replace the same exercise of the same day in the original

program

object

.

The

index

value on each exercise in the

reducedProgram

indicates what index it should replace in the

exercises

array in the original

program

.

Went off your function

@Lucas G

function reduceProgram({originalProgram, reducedProgram}) {
const mergedProgram = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(originalProgram));
reducedProgram.days.forEach((reducedDay, dayIndex) => {
const mergedDay = mergedProgram.days[dayIndex];
reducedDay.exercises.forEach(reducedExercise => {
mergedDay.exercises[reducedExercise.index] = {
...mergedDay.exercises[reducedExercise.index],
...reducedExercise
};
});
});
return mergedProgram;
}

Thank you very much

!

This actually inspired an idea to create a simpler custom code formula that I just call for every day inside a Map iteration like this and it seems to work
