for example - lets say I have the array -
const array = [{name: "first", val: 1}, {name: "second", val: 2}]
I want to run once on that array and at the end of that run to have two arrays -
const arrayOne = ["first", "second"];
const arrayTwo = [1,2];
to get the first one is easy, but getting both at once?
I remember there was a way to do it but couldn't find it..
I'd appreciate any help!
Any looping logic will help
Array.reduce implementation will be like below
const array = [{ name: "first", val: 1 }, { name: "second", val: 2 }];
const [arrayOne, arrayTwo] = array.reduce((acc, curr) => {
const { name, val } = curr;
acc[0].push(name);
acc[1].push(val);
return acc;
}, [[], []]);
console.log(arrayOne, arrayTwo);You can use Array.reduce to achieve this:
const array = [{name: "first", val: 1}, {name: "second", val: 2}]
const result = array.reduce((res, item) => {
res[0].push(item.name)
res[1].push(item.val)
return res
}, [[], []])
console.log(result)The function extractArrays is general-purpose and can be used in other cases as well.
function extractArrays(arr) {
const result = {};
for (obj of arr) {
for (key in obj) {
result[key] = (result[key] || []).concat([obj[key]]);
}
}
return result;
}
const array = [{name: "first", val: 1}, {name: "second", val: 2}];
const result = extractArrays(array);
const arrayOne = result.name;
const arrayTwo = result.val;
console.log(`arrayOne=${arrayOne}`);
console.log(`arrayTwo=${arrayTwo}`);
