Currently, my script produces an object with a format as follows:
{name: numerical value, name: numerical value}
Highcharts, the charting library I am using requires data to be in an array of arrays with two values, example:
[ ["name", "numerical value"], ["name", "numerical value"], ["name", "numerical value"] ]
How can I convert my javascript object into arrays within an array?
Loop through the object's keys, creating a new pair for each:
var obj = { name: 3, name2: 4 /* etc. */ };
var data = [];
for ( f in obj )
{
var pair = [ f, obj[f] ];
data.push(pair);
}
Or, a less-verbose version of that loop:
for ( f in obj )
{
data.push( [ f, obj[f] ] );
}
var obj = { name: 3, name2: 4, name3: 72 };
var data = [];
for ( f in obj )
{
data.push( [ f, obj[f] ] );
}
console.log( JSON.stringify(data) );You can use Object.keys and map
var data = {name: 'numerical value', name1: 'numerical value'};
var res = Object.keys(data).map(function (el) {
return [el, data[el]];
});
console.log(res);
If you read this in 2018 you can use Object.entries method
function convertObjectToList(obj) {
return Object.entries(obj);
}
