I have the following object:
{English: 4, Math: 5, CompSci: 6}
How can I convert it to an array of objects, like:
[{English: 4}, {Math: 5}, {CompSci: 6}]
Can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks!!
Use
Array#forEachoverObject.keys(YOUR_OBJECT)
var input = {
English: 4,
Math: 5,
CompSci: 6
};
var op = [];
Object.keys(input).forEach(function(key) {
var obj = {};
obj[key] = input[key];
op.push(obj); //push newly created object in `op`array
});
console.log(op);
With newer JS, you could take Object.entries and map single properties.
var object = { English: 4, Math: 5, CompSci: 6 },
array = Object.entries(object).map(([k, v]) => ({ [k]: v }));
console.log(array);
Just loop over each of the keys in the object.
var oldObject = {English: 4, Math: 5, CompSci: 6};
var newArray = [];
// Loop over each key in the object
for (var key in oldObject) {
// Create a temp object
var temp = {};
// Set the key of temp
temp[key] = oldObject[key]
// Push it to the array
newArray.push(temp);
}
console.log(newArray)
You can turn the object into an array of key-value pairs using Object.entries and then map this array to smaller object created using Object.fromEntries from each individual key-value pair (the key part here is the wrapping in another array before passing to fromEntries):
Object.entries(obj).map(e => Object.fromEntries([e]))
The reverse way is similar: We create a big object using Object.fromEntries, and we pass in an array of key-value pairs. This array is created by flat-mapping (i.e. eliminating on extra layer of arrays) the array of objects to an array of key-value pairs we get from calling Object.entries on each small object. The key here is the flat-mapping, without it we would get an array of arrays of key-value pairs because we added that extra layer in the other conversion to separate the properties.
Object.fromEntries(arr.flatMap(o => Object.entries(o)))
You can use JSON.stringify(), String.prototype.match() with RegExp /".*"\:.*(?=,|})/, String.prototype.split() with RegExp /,/, Array.prototype.join() with parameter "},{", JSON.parse()
var obj = {English: 4, Math: 5, CompSci: 6};
var res = JSON.parse("[{"
+ JSON.stringify(obj)
.match(/".*"\:.*(?=,|})/g)[0]
.split(/,/)
.join("},{")
+ "}]");
console.log(res);
objectwould be{subject:SUBJECT_NAME, code:SUBJECT_CODE}
