Jquery – Iterate nested array of object and display in html table

I have a below input with nested array of objects.

summary is parent array of objects and run_type is nested one.

let input = {
      "summary": [
          {
              "name": "Release",
              "run_type": [
                {
                  "environment": "6nc",
                  "type": "QA1"
                },
                {
                  "environment": "3nc",
                  "type": "QA2"
                }
              ]
          }
      ]
  }

I want to display a table like this. Name field has rowspan of 2 since there are 2 run_type for each summary

------------------------------------
   Name    | Environment | RunType |
------------------------------------
  Release  |     6nc     |  QA1    |
           |     3nc     |  QA2    |
------------------------------------

To display a table like this statically, i can do this way

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Vertical</th>
      <th>Environment</th>
      <th>RunType</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
    <td rowspan="2">Release</td>
    <td>6nc</td>
    <td>QA1</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3nc</td>
   <td>QA2</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

can someone please let me know how to dynamically show this table. I tried using this way but was unsuccessful. the problem is that i am able to rowspan Name column into 2 rows but all other columns are not being placed as two rows within that same Name section

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Vertical</th>
      <th>Environment</th>
      <th>RunType</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
     {input?.summary?.map((project, indx) => {
       return (
         <tr>
           <td rowspan="2">{project?.name}</td>
             {project?.run_type?.map((runType, indx) => {
                return (
                  <>
                    <td>{runType.environment}</td>
                    <td>{runType.type}</td>
                  </>
                );
             })}
         </tr>
       );
     })}
  </tbody>
</table>

    You need a <tr> per run_type, so the inner loop should generate the <tr>, not the outer. As the <td> with rowspan should only be created for the first row of the project, use a conditional expression with indx==0 to generate it:

    input.summary?.map((project) =>
    project.run_type?.map((runType, indx, {length}) =>
        <tr>
           {indx == 0 ? <td rowspan={length}>{project.name}</td> : ''}
           <td>{runType.environment}</td>
           <td>{runType.type}</td>
        </tr>
    )

    The problem arises from the fact that you’re using a single <tr> element to iterate through both the run_type environments and types. This leads to an incorrect rendering of the table structure.

    Here’s how you can modify your code to achieve this:

      <tbody>
    {input?.summary?.map((project, projectIndex) => (
      <>
        {project?.run_type?.map((runType, runTypeIndex) => (
          <tr key={`${projectIndex}-${runTypeIndex}`}>
            {runTypeIndex === 0 ? (
              <td rowspan={project.run_type.length}>{project.name}</td>
            ) : null}
            <td>{runType.environment}</td>
            <td>{runType.type}</td>
          </tr>
        ))}
      </>
    ))}
  </tbody>

    I would transform the data into a matrix of text and row-span information first.

    Now you can use the matrix to just render the <tbody>.

    let input = {
  "summary": [{
    "name": "Release",
    "run_type": [{
      "environment": "6nc",
      "type": "QA1"
    }, {
      "environment": "3nc",
      "type": "QA2"
    }]
  }]
};

const tableData = input.summary.flatMap(({ name, run_type }) => {
  return run_type.map(({ environment, type }, index) => {
    const row = [];
    if (index === 0) {
      row.push({ text: name, rowSpan: run_type.length });
    }
    row.push({ text: environment });
    row.push({ text: type });
    return row;
  });
});

document.querySelector('.data tbody').insertAdjacentHTML('afterbegin', `
  ${tableData.map(row =>
    `<tr>${row.map(col =>
      `<td rowSpan=${col.rowSpan ?? 1}>${col.text}</td>`)
    .join('')}</tr>`)
  .join('')}
`);
    table.data {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

table.data, .data th, .data td {
  border: thin solid grey;
}

.data th, .data td {
  padding: 0.5rem;
}

.data th {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.125);
}
    <table class="data">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Environment</th>
      <th>RunType</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody></tbody>
</table>
