I am having trouble with a function question for my course.
Write a function that converts an array of strings into an array of objects, with the supplied key
E.g.
arrayToObjects(["Mike", "Emily"], "name") // => [{ name: "Mike" }, { name: "Emily"}]
function arrayToObjects(array, key) {
const objArr = [] // to return an array later.
this.key = key
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
const o = new Object()
o.key = array[i]
objArr.push(o)
return objArr
}
}
arrayToObjects(['Mike', 'Emily'], 'name')
If I pass the array values and key string I log this: [ { key: 'Mike' }, { key: 'Emily' } ]
I can't get the key name into the constructor from the function argument.
Change the following line :
o.key = array[i]
//change
o[key] = array[i]
function arrayToObjects(array, key) {
const objectArray = []; // To return an array later.
this.key = key;
for (const element of array) {
const o = new Object();
o[key] = element;
objectArray.push(o);
}
return objectArray;
}
