Familiarize yourself on how to access and process nested objects, arrays or JSON and use the available Object and Array methods. — Sebastian Simon

Try the "map" function from the array:

const output = [ 'John', 'Jane' ].map(name => ({name}));
console.log(output);

It's short for this. const output = ['John', 'Jane'].map(name=>({name: name}));

You can use the instance method .map() on a JS list Object as follows :

 let list = ['John', 'Jane']
 list = list.map(x => {
    return({name: x});
                      });
 console.log(list);
