如何在一个特定对象中转换对象数组？

Question

So, I had the very tiny, but hard for me task from my last interview. I just itreseted in how to solve it. I think that we need to implement the recursion in this task, but I do not know it clearly.

The task:

let arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300}, {name: 'height', value: 100}];

On output we must have:

let obj = {width:300, height: 100};

The count of array objects can be infinity.

PS I'll be pleased if you provide me with link on knowleges to how make this task done.

Thank you.

Answer 1

An alternative using the function reduce

Brief explanation

• The function Array.prototype.reduce loops an array applying a handler for each object.
• The accumulator a will contain the result from each iteration.
• The function converter receives the accumulator and the current object.
• This Object.assign(a, {[name]: value}) assigns a new property to the current accumulator.
• Computed property names {[name]: value} that code will build an object as follow:

{ width: 300 }

 let arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300},{name: 'height', value: 100}], converter = (a, {name, value}) => (Object.assign(a, {[name]: value})), obj = arr.reduce(converter, {}); console.log(obj); 

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

Answer 2

The array .reduce method would be a good fit. Start with an empty object and for each array item, add an entry to the object with that key and value. Example:

 let arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300}, {name: 'height', value: 100}]; let result = arr.reduce((combo, item) => { combo[item.name] = item.value; return combo; }, {}); console.log(result); 

Answer 3

First, you're missing a comma between your two objects in the array :)

Whenever you're looking to process an array and come up with a single value, you're looking to use array.reduce . You can choose the direction (reduce or reduceRight) and the accumulator function, to produce the value (or object) desired.

Answer 4

Another way using reduce, destructurization and object spread operator:

 const src = [{ name: 'width', value: 300 }, { name: 'height', value: 100 }] const reducer = (acc, { name, value }) => ({ ...acc, ...{ [name]: value } }); const out = src.reduce(reducer, {}); console.log(out); 

Answer 5

You can create the object by adding the key value pairs in the array, with the help of the bracket notations :

 let arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300},{name: 'height', value: 100}]; let obj = {}; arr.forEach(pair => obj[pair.name] = pair.value) console.log(obj); 

Answer 6

var len = arr.length, 

var newA = []; 
let width, height, item; 
for(var x = 0; x < len; x+=2){ //add 2 for pair loop because width/height in diff array objects 
 item.width = arr[x].value;
 item.height = arr[x+1].value; 
 newA.push(item); 
 // newA = [{width:value, height:value}, {width:value, height:value}];
}
console.log(newA);

This should work for grouping width and height together in your final array :)

If you want just one big object (make sure there are no name duplicates !)...

var len = arr.length, 
obj = {}; 
for(var x = 0; x < len; x++){ 
 obj[arr[x].name] = arr[x].value;
} 
console.log(obj);

Answer 7

You can use forEach() to solve it as well.

let arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300},{name: 'height', value: 100}];
let obj = {};
arr.forEach(val=>obj[val.name]=val.value);

Answer 8

You can use Array.map() to create an array of objects in the form of { [name]: value } , and merge them to a single object by spreading into Object.assign() :

 const arr = [{name: 'width', value: 300}, {name: 'height', value: 100}]; const object = Object.assign(...arr.map(({ name, value }) => ({ [name]: value }))); console.log(object); 

Answer 9

You can solve this with just a for loop:

var obj = {};
for (var i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
    obj[arr[i].name] = arr[i].value;
}
