How to get and display the lowest value from an array inside an array?

Question

this is my array:

[{
            "AC": "true",
            "doj": "2020-11-20T00:00:00+05:30",
            "fareDetails": [
                {
                    "baseFare": "1033.00",
                    "srtFee": "0.0",
                    "tollFee": "0.0",
                    "totalFare": "1085.00"
                },
                {
                    "baseFare": "1086.00",
                    "srtFee": "0.0",
                    "tollFee": "0.0",
                    "totalFare": "1140.00"
                },
                {
                    "baseFare": "1190.00",
                    "srtFee": "0.0",
                    "tollFee": "0.0",
                    "totalFare": "1250.00"
                },
                {
                    "baseFare": "1243.00",
                    "srtFee": "0.0",
                    "tollFee": "0.0",
                    "totalFare": "1305.00"
                }
            ],
            "fares": [
                "1250.00",
                "1305.00",
                "1140.00",
                "1085.00"
            ],
        },..........],

I need to show the lowest "baseFare" among the given array, as there are four base fare i need show only the lowest and it should be in numbers like 1033 without decimals

So far i tried this , but it gives error

 Math.round(Math.min(...item.fareDetails.baseFare)

How to achive this ?

you can use the combination of Math.min and yourArry.map

like this

Math.min.apply( Math, t[0].fareDetails.map(x=>x.baseFare))

var t =[{
            "AC": "true",
            "doj": "2020-11-20T00:00:00+05:30",
            "fareDetails": [
                {
                    "baseFare": "1033.00",
                    "srtFee": "0.0",
                    "tollFee": "0.0",
                    "totalFare": "1085.00"
                },
                {
                    "baseFare": "1086.00",

                "1305.00",

var lowest =Math.min.apply(Math,t.flatMap(x=> x.fareDetails.map(x=>x.baseFare)))
console.log(lowest)

`.map(/* ... */ .map( /* ... */)).join().split(",")`??? Why go through all the trouble for a trivial operation like flattening an array? — VLAZ, Nov 11 '20 at 16:11
I just want to get all ``baseFare`` in a single Array to process it — Zulqarnain Jalil, Nov 11 '20 at 16:14
@ZulqarnainJalil yes, I'm aware of that. I wonder why convert to a string and split it back into another array instead of just [`flatMap`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/flatMap)-ping? — VLAZ, Nov 11 '20 at 16:17
Yes ``flatMap`` is better way to get rid of all ``join`` and ``split`` i have edited the answer — Zulqarnain Jalil, Nov 11 '20 at 16:21

You need to extract baseFare values from the array item and get the min value among them as follows.

Math.round(Math.min(...item.map(({ fareDetails: { baseFare } }) => Number(baseFare))));
