How to count values in Code step?

Hello,

 

I am trying to count the quantity of several products in a line item order (WooCommerce). I.e. the line items in the order look like: 

Product 1 × 3, Product 2 × 1, Product 3 × 2

 

So: 
Product 1 was ordered 3 times
Product 2 was ordered once
Product 3 was ordered 2 times

And the result/output should be: 
6

 

I am trying to count all quantities together. I already tried to solve this with the Formatter, but didn’t have success. Is it possible to do this with JavaScript or Phyton? Or is there another way?

 

Thanks a lot for your support, 
M.

This can be done in a Code step: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

 

Try this JavaScript…

CONFIG

 

CODE

let Count = 0;
let Items = inputData.Items.split(",");
for (let i = 0; i < Items.length ; i++) {
  Items[i] = Items[i].split(";")[1].trim();
  Count += parseInt(Items[i]);
}

output = [{Count, Items}];

Hi @michael291 

Can you post screenshots with how the actual data comes thru on the Zap step that you are trying to use?

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

thanks for help. Here’s the screenshot where I “fetch” the data from the line items order. 

Hope that will help you.
