How to convert an object of just array values into an array of objects, each with transposed property values?

What is the most efficient way to convert the data below in node.js? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have some data that looks like this ->

const inputdata = {
  data1: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data2: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data3: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
};

and I need to convert it into this ->

[
  { data1: 5.0, data2: 5.0, data3: 5.0 },
  { data1: 10.0, data2: 10.0, data3: 10.0 },
  { data1: 50.0, data2: 50.0, data3: 50.0 },
  { data1: 100.0, data2: 100.0, data3: 100.0 },
  { data1: 500.0, data2: 500.0, data3: 500.0 },
]

Code attempt ->

const inputdata = {
  data1: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data2: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data3: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
};
const outputdata = [];

Object.keys(inputdata).forEach(key => {
  let value = inputdata[key];

  if (key === "data1"){
    for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
      outputdata.push({ data1: 0, data2: 0, data3: 0 });
    }
  }
}
Object.keys(inputdata).forEach(key => {
  let value = inputdata[key];

  if (key === "data1") {
    for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
      outputdata[i].data1 = value[i];
    }
  }
  if (key === "data2") {
    for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
      outputdata[i].data2 = value[i];
    }
  }
  if (key === "data3") {
    for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
      outputdata[i].data3 = value[i];
    }
  }
}
console.log(inputdata);
console.log(outputdata);

You could transpose the data and build new objects from data.

const
    data = { data1: [5, 10, 50, 100, 500], data2: [5, 10, 50, 100, 500], data3: [5, 10, 50, 100, 500] },
    result = Object
        .entries(data)
        .reduce((r, [k, a]) => a.map((v, i) => ({ ...r[i], [k]: v })), []);

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

Used techniques of the below provided step by step example code ...

  • Object.assign

  • Object.values

  • Array.prototype.map

  • Array.prototype.reduce

// reducer function which transposes
// a table into a matrix and vice versa.
function transpose(result, row) {
  return row.reduce((matrix, value, idx) => {

    (matrix[idx] ??= []).push(value);
    return matrix;

  }, result);
}

const inputdata = {
  data1: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data2: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0],
  data3: [5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0, 500.0]
};
console.log(
  Object

    // convert `inputdata` into a table
    // ... an array of row like arrays.
    .values(inputdata)
);
console.log(
  Object

    // - convert `inputdata` into a table
    //   ... an array of row like arrays.
    .values(inputdata)

    // - then transpose the table into a matrix.
    .reduce(transpose, [])
);
console.log(
  Object

    // - convert `inputdata` into a table
    //   ... an array of row like arrays.
    .values(inputdata)

    // - then transpose the table into a matrix.
    .reduce(transpose, [])

    // - then convert/map matrix 
    //   into an array of objects.
    .map(vector =>
      vector.reduce((object, value, idx) =>

        Object.assign(object, {
          [`data${ idx + 1 }`]: value,
        }), {}        
      )
    )
);
.as-console-wrapper { min-height: 100%!important; top: 0; }
