Comparing one value from two arrays if bigger then copying + combining into third array - Woocommerce

I’m trying to make a simple app to update prices in WooCommerce through the REST API.

I have arrayOne which has SKU + updated prices from my ERP

[
 {sku=PD-1000-B, price=9800.00},
 {sku=PD-1007-A, price=9678.16}
]

arrayTwo which has all products from woocommerce, SKU, id (which I need to get) and current price

[
 {sku=PD-1000-B, id=1622.0, price=8145.9},
 {sku=PD-1007-A, id=1624.0, price=9678.16}
]

I would like to compare arrayTwo with arrayOne, if price in arrayOne is bigger then with all coincidences combine and create new array. Something like this

[
 {sku=PD-1000-B, id=1622.0, price=9800.00}
]

Since the only bigger price is for PD-1000-B.

All I got so far is to create a new Set but that doesn’t compare anything, the idea would be to reduce only to changes the amount to update.

EDIT: As of right now I’m merely replacing the price in arrayTwo with the one in arrayOne using this:

let set = new Set();
for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
    set.add(data[i]['sku'])
for (let i = 0; i < container.length; i++)
    if (set.has(container[i]['sku']))
        container[i]['price'] = data[i]['price'];

container is an empty variable I’m using to collect the data I get from WooCommerce as an array and data is a the array which contains the updated prices + sku.

Thank you.

You can achieve this in two steps:

Find greatest ones of each in arrOne
Compare with corresponding one in arrTwo

You can use this nice function for that:

const arrOne = [
  {
    sku: "PD-1000-B",
    price: 9678.16
  },
  {
    sku: "PD-1000-B",
    price: 9800.00
  },
  {
    sku: "PD-1007-C",
    price: 9714.16
  },
  {
    sku: "PD-1007-C",
    price: 9270.00
  }
]

const arrTwo = [
 {sku: "PD-1000-B", id:1622.0, price:8145.9},
 {sku: "PD-1007-A", id:1624.0, price:9678.16},
 {sku: "PD-1007-C", id:1627.0, price:9478.16},
]

const findAllHighest = (arr) => {
  // 1) get highest one of each in arrOne
  const arrOneGreatest = arr.reduce((prev, cur) => {
    if(!prev[cur.sku]){
      prev[cur.sku] = cur
      return prev
    }

    if(cur.price > prev[cur.sku].price){
      prev[cur.sku] = cur
    }
    return prev
  }, {})
  
  // match to arrayTwo
  const result = arrTwo.map(el => {
    const arrOneObj = Object.values(arrOneGreatest).find(n => n.sku === el.sku)

    if(!arrOneObj)
      return el

    if(arrOneObj.price > el.price)
      el.price = arrOneObj.price
    return el
  }, [])
  
  return result
}

console.log(findAllHighest(arrOne))

 .as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

I’d try it this way:

var arrayOne = [
    {sku: 'PD-1000-B', price: 9800.00},
    {sku: 'PD-1007-A', price: 9678.16}
];

var arrayTwo = [
    {sku: 'PD-1000-B', id: 1622.0, price: 8145.9},
    {sku: 'PD-1007-A', id: 1624.0, price: 9678.16}
];

// convert the array into the object {sku1: {}, sku2: {}, ...}
var arrayOne_obj = {}
for (let obj of arrayOne)
    arrayOne_obj[obj.sku] = {'price': obj.price};

// convert the array into the object {sku1: {}, sku2: {}, ...}
var arrayTwo_obj = {}
for (let obj of arrayTwo)
    arrayTwo_obj[obj.sku] = {'price': obj.price, 'id': obj.id};

// loop through the 'sku'-subobjects of the 'arrayOne_obj' object
// compare its prices with prices of the same 'sku'-subobject of 'arrayTwo_obj',
// and make the output array
var output = [];
for (let sku in arrayOne_obj) {
    let subObjOne = arrayOne_obj[sku];
    let subObjTwo = arrayTwo_obj[sku];
    if (subObjOne.price > subObjTwo.price) {
        output.push({'sku':sku, 'id': subObjTwo.id, 'price':subObjOne.price});
    }  
}

console.log(output); // output [ {sku: 'PD-1000-B', id:1622.0, price:9800.00} ]

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
