I have tried to get the specific values from the array of object but I can able to do it. The even complex array of object examples with answers also appreciated. thank you.

Answer 1

You can use Javascript Array functions map and reduce to filter keys from input array. In the below example you can change the outputKeys array to get the wanted output.

const outputKeys = ['name', 'capital', 'region', 'languages', 'flag'];

const output = input.map(item =>
  outputKeys.reduce((val, key) => ({ ...val, [key]: item[key] }), {})
);
