arr2obj

Converts an array to object, with custom key and value.

Install

npm i @dantehemerson/arr2obj

or with yarn:

yarn add @dantehemerson/arr2obj

Usage

You can import as follows:

const { arr2obj } = require('@dantehemerson/arr2obj')

The function is:

arr2obj(array, [options])

Arguments

array: The array to transform.

options: The options sould be a object with two optional keys: key and value, functions that receive the item as argument and return a value.

• key: Function that must return the value that will be taken as the key.

• value: Function that must return the value that will be taken as value.

for example:

{
  key: item => `pre-${item}`,
  value: item => item
}

If you use Typescript, the interface of options is:

interface Options {
  key?: (item: any) => object | number | string | boolean
  value?: (item: any) => object | number | string | boolean
}

Returns

Object tranformed.

Examples

Array of basic types:

const result = arr2obj(['a', 'b', 'c'])
// result:
// { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: 'c' }

Array of objects

const arr = [
  {
    id: 1
  },
  {
    id: 2
  },
  {
    id: 3
  }
]

const result = arr2obj(arr, {
  key: item => `pre-${item}-post`,
  value: item => Math.pow(item, 2)
})

/**
  result:
  {
    1: {
      id: 1
    },
    2: {
      id: 2
    },
    3: {
      id: 3
    }
  }
