I want to Convert array into Custom Object


I have array of Strings like this: let arr = ['HTML', 'CSS', 'JAVASCRIPT']

I have converted this array into an object using {...arr} method and the result is: { 0: "HTML", 1: "CSS", 2: "JAVASCRIPT" } I want this result in this format because I am using Fluent UI react dropdown and there inside options, we have arrays of objects having their own key and text. But I did not understand How do I customize my object like this -->

[
 {key: "HTML", text: "HTML"},
 { key: "CSS", text: "CSS" },
 { key: "JAVASCRIPT", text: "JAVASCRIPT" }
]

Solution

  • JavaScript's Array.map() method is meant for a task like this. See this MDN page for details.

    Below is an example solution for your needs.

    const arr = ['HTML', 'CSS', 'JAVASCRIPT'];
    
    const obj = arr.map(item => {
      return { key: item, text: item}
    });
    
    console.log(obj);
