map an array to string list code example

Example 1: use map to loop through an array

let squares = [1,2,3,4].map(function (val) {  
    return val * val;  
}); 
// squares will be equal to [1, 4, 9, 16]

Example 2: map a keys from an array in a separate arraylist javascript

const myUsers = [
    { name: 'shark', likes: 'ocean' },
    { name: 'turtle', likes: 'pond' },
    { name: 'otter', likes: 'fish biscuits' }
]

const usersByLikes = myUsers.map(item => {
    const container = {};

    container[item.name] = item.likes;
    container.age = item.name.length * 10;

    return container;
})

console.log(usersByLikes);
