construct key value pair array by providing list of values(string)

Question

I would be passing list of countries as environment variables as shown below

tag = 'us,gb,au,de'

I would like to dynamically construct key value array as shown below.

var placeList =
           [{place: 'us'},
            {place: 'gb'},
            {place: 'au'},
            {place: 'de'}];

I tried using .forEach, but was not sure how to construct one, any leads would be helpful.

You want to split the string on the comma then convert each string you receive in to an object

var placeList = tag.split(',').map(str => ({place: str}))
