Uncaught TypeError: data.push is not a function

I am trying to push

data.push({"country": "IN"});

as new id and value to a json string. but it gives the following error

Uncaught TypeError: data.push is not a function

data{"name":"ananta","age":"15"}

Advance Thanks for your reply

To use the push function of an Array your var needs to be an Array.

Change data{"name":"ananta","age":"15"} to following:

var data = [
    { 
        "name": "ananta",
        "age": "15",
        "country": "Atlanta"
    }
];

data.push({"name": "Tony Montana", "age": "99"});

data.push({"country": "IN"});

..

The containing Array Items will be typeof Object and you can do following:

var text = "You are " + data[0]->age + " old and come from " + data[0]->country;

Notice: Try to be consistent. In my example, one array contained object properties name and age while the other only contains country. If I iterate this with for or forEach then I can't always check for one property, because my example contains Items that changing.

Perfect would be: data.push({ "name": "Max", "age": "5", "country": "Anywhere" } );

So you can iterate and always can get the properties, even if they are empty, null or undefined.

edit

Cool stuff to know:

var array = new Array();

is similar to:

var array = [];

Also:

var object = new Object();

is similar to:

var object = {};

You also can combine them:

var objectArray = [{}, {}, {}];

Your data variable contains an object, not an array, and objects do not have the push function as the error states. To do what you need you can do this:

data.country = 'IN';

Or

data['country'] = 'IN';

Also make sure that the name of the variable is not some kind of a language keyword. For instance, the following produces the same type of error:

var history = [];
history.push("what a mess");

replacing it for:

var history123 = [];
history123.push("pray for a better language");

works as expected.

you can use push method only if the object is an array:

var data = new Array();
data.push({"country": "IN"}).

OR

data['country'] = "IN"

if it's just an object you can use

data.country = "IN";

I think you set it as

var data = []; 

but after some time you made it like:

data = 'some thing which is not an array'; 

then data.push('') will not work as it is not an array anymore.

One things to remember push work only with array[] not object{}.

If you want to add object o inside inside n like that :

a = {
   b:"c",
   D:"e",
   F: {
      g:"h",
      I:"j",
      k: {
         l:"m"
      }
   }
}

a.F.k.n = { o: "p" };
console.log(a);

Try This Code $scope.DSRListGrid.data = data; this one for source data

            for (var prop in data[0]) {
                if (data[0].hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                    $scope.ListColumns.push(
                            {
                                "name": prop,
                                "field": prop,
                                "width": 150,
                                "headerCellClass": 'font-12'
                            }
                    );
                }
            }
            console.log($scope.ListColumns);

make sure you push into an Array only and if their is error like Uncaught TypeError: data.push is not a function** then check for type of data you can do this by consol.log(data) hope this will help

let dataArray = [{'id':1,'code':'ABC'},{'id':1,'code':'ABC'},{'id':2,'code':'ABC'}]

    let obj = {};
  dataArray.forEach(task => {        
    task.id in obj ? obj[task.employee_id].push(task):
    obj = {
      ...obj,
      [task.employee_id]: [task],
    }
  });
