I am trying to convert an array of numbers to array of objects. What is the easiest way to do this?
myArray = [1,2,3];
myObject = convertToObjects(myArray);
convertToObjects= (items) => {
let listOfItems = [];
let convertToObj = items.map(item, idx => {
let key = item;
listOfItems.push({ key });
});
return listOfItems;
}
Thank you!
Expected output:
[
{key: 1},
{key: 2},
{key: 3}]
You could map the object.
var myArray = [1, 2, 3],
convertToObjects = items => items.map(key => ({ key })),
myObject = convertToObjects(myArray);
console.log(myObject);@qxz provided an answer in the comments
myArray.map(x => ({key:x}))
Here is a brief explanation.
map() is a function of Arrays. It calls a provided callback function for each element, then returns an Array of the results. See the documentation for map()
map() returns an array, rather than modifying it in place, so you'll need to capture the result.
var myArray = [1, 2, 3],
var convertedArr = myArray.map( function(item) {
return {"key": item};
});
console.log(convertedArr);
map function has as parameter a callback function.
mapcalls a provided callback function once for each element in an array, in order, and constructs a new array from the results.
Read more about map method.
Try this:
myArray = [1,2,3];
myObject = convertToObjects(myArray);
function convertToObjects(items){
let listOfItems = [];
let convertToObj = items.map(function(item) {
let key = item;
listOfItems.push({ key });
});
return listOfItems;
}
console.log(myObject);
myArray.map(x => ({key:x}))
