I have a rest API in Node.js, which outputs an array like:
[["Benni", 24, "Whatever"], ["Paul", 23, "Whatever"]]
Now in order to use it for an Angular Material table, I have to put the array in this format:
[{name: 'Benni', age: 24, Text: 'Whatever'}, {name: 'Paul', age: 23, Text: 'Whatever'},]
How can I achieve that?
You can use the Array.prototype.map method of an array.
Simply call a map over the array, get the data in order from the array item and return the object you want in the map function.
const arr = [
["Benni", 24, "Whatever"],
["Paul", 23, "Whatever"]
];
const remapped = arr.map((data) => {
const [name, age, Text] = data;
return {
name,
age,
Text,
};
});
console.log(remapped);pretty easily:
let result = inputArr.map( innerArr => {name: innerArr[0], age: innerArr[1], Text: innerArr[2]});
you can do it as follows,
var data = [[ "Benni" , 24 , "Whatever" ],[ "Paul" , 23 , "Whatever" ]];
var collection = data.slice(); // make a copy
var keys = ["name","age","text"];
collection = collection.map(function (e) {
var obj = {};
keys.forEach(function (key, i) {
obj[key] = e[i];
});
return obj;
});
collection object will contain the results as follows
[
{
"name": "Benni",
"age": 24,
"text": "Whatever"
},
{
"name": "Paul",
"age": 23,
"text": "Whatever"
}
]
