Node.js; list strings from JSON file in order - node.js

Question

I have file users.json, which contain, among others, data like this:
[
{
"nick": "user123",
"active24": 579
...
}, {
"nick": "nick",
"active24": 259
...
}
]
I want to make leaderboard, showing top 10 users nicks (from uknown max value of users), based on ther "active24" (from biggest to smallest). I can do it using array, but problem is that bot can't send it using vk-io (reason is not important, so i don't describe it much here, but please, do not save final input as array, but as variables or etc). I want output like:
Var_top1 = `${nick}: ${active24}`;
Var_top2 = `${nick}: ${active24}`;
Var_top3 = `${nick}: ${active24}`;
...
Var_top10 = `${nick}: ${active24}`;
P.S sorry for my bad English

Answer 1

do you want something like this?
const data = [
{
nick: "user111",
active24: 579
},
{
nick: "nick222",
active24: 0
},
{
nick: "nick333",
active24: 84
},
{
nick: "nick444",
active24: 9459
}
];
const sorted = data.sort((a, b) => b.active24 - a.active24);
console.log(JSON.stringify(sorted));
//[{"nick":"nick444","active24":9459},{"nick":"user111","active24":579},{"nick":"nick333","active24":84},{"nick":"nick222","active24":0}]
const top1 = sorted[0];
const top2 = sorted[1];
const top3 = sorted[2];
const top4 = sorted[3];

Answer 2

Order the array using a methodology such as
array.prototype.sort.
Once the array has all members sorted, you just need to print them array[0].nick + ":" + array[0].active24
let jsonObject = [
{
"nick": "user123",
"active24": 579
},
{
"nick": "user234",
"active24": 1
},
{
"nick": "nick",
"active24": 259
}
];
// Orders the array
jsonObject.sort((firstElem, secondElem) => {
if (firstElem.active24 > secondElem.active24) return 1;
if (firstElem.active24 < secondElem.active24) return -1;
return 0;
})
// Prints the entire ordered array
console.log(JSON.stringify(jsonObject, null, 2));
// Prints the nick and the active24 value
for (let i = 0; i < jsonObject.length; i++) {
console.log(jsonObject[i].nick + ":" + jsonObject[i].active24);
}
