Loop thru JavaScript Objects

Hello,

How can I loop thru the Object? And what is the best way to do it if I want to add content, title and author in object and show in website one by one, like news feed or something like that.

Or there is no way to do it with java?

This is what i did, but it displays ony last items in object.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

const topoc = document.getElementById('topoc'); const content = document.getElementById('content'); const author = document.getElementById('author');

const kokteiliai = { topic: "Kruvinoji Meri", content: "lorem ipsum naudingas tekstas, eina namo, nes nespejo pareiti namo", author: "Minde",

topic: "Namas", content: "lorem ipsum naudingas tekstas, eina namo, nes nespejo pareiti namo", author: "Loreta" };

const keys = Object.keys(kokteiliai) for (const key of keys) { topoc.innerHTML = kokteiliai.topic; content.innerHTML = kokteiliai.content; author.innerHTML = kokteiliai.author; }

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

You can only have one attribute with a specific key in an object, so when you use the same key more than once in your object literal, the latest one of each key will be the only one saved.

For example, in your "kokteiliai" object, "author" is set to "Minde" but later it is set to "Loreta". So the value of "author" will be "Loreta". Perhaps you intended to create an array containing multiple objects?

Then in the loop, the variable "key" is created to hold the current item in each iteration, but it is never used in the loop body. So the loop just does the same thing over and over for the number of keys.

Thank you for your answer. I just was thinkink yesterday what I just change value.

So with my toughts if i want to create this kind of think I probalby need to use database, where I could store all my news and only then call them with sertain code. Is that right?

A database would be a good idea, particularly if the content will be large and/or change often.
