I have an array of objects with the same keys, example:
const data = [{name: "firstName", value: "John"},
{name: "lastName", value: "Smith"},
{name: "Number", value: "421-8686"}
]
I however want the values to become the key and values. example:
const data = [{"firstName": "John"},
{"lastName": "Smith"},
{"Number": "421-8686"}]
I tried a few methods, but for some reason or another I fail. My latest attempt is:
let newData = {}
arrayData.forEach((item, index) => {
let key = data.name
let value = data.value
newData[index] = { key: value} // this results in {"key": "John"} --> but i want {"firstName": "John"}
});
const data = [{name: "firstName", value: "John"},
{name: "lastName", value: "Smith"},
{name: "Number", value: "421-8686"}
]
/*const data = [{"firstName": "John"},
{"lastName": "Smith"},
{"Number": "421-8686"}]
*/
for(let i = 0;i < data.length;i++){
data[i][data[i].name] = data[i].value // creates new key value pair
delete data[i].name // deletes old key
delete data[i].value
}
console.log(data)You can use Object.fromEntries.
let data = [
{name: "firstName", value: "John"},
{name: "lastName", value: "Smith"},
{name: "Number", value: "421-8686"}
]
data = data.map(info => Object.fromEntries([[info.name, info.value]]))
console.log(data)I believe you should get result as following, what you want. Of course, I confirmed status.
const data = [{name: "firstName", value: "John"},
{name: "lastName", value: "Smith"},
{name: "Number", value: "421-8686"}
]
let newData = [];
data.forEach((item) => {
let obj = {};
obj[item.name] = item.value;
newData.push( obj );
});
console.log(newData);
Thanks.
