JavaScript: How can I change property names of objects in an array?
You could use the .map()
function to make the data in columns
suitable for use with react-select
.
The .map()
function is available on the Array
type. It creates a new array from the array you call it on, and allows you to provide a function that transforms/changes each item as it is copied from the original array.
You can make use of it as follows:
const columns = [
{ name: 'OrderNumber', title: 'Order Number' },
{ name: 'strawberry', title: 'Strawberry' },
{ name: 'vanilla', title: 'Vanilla' }
]
const options = columns.map(function(row) {
// This function defines the "mapping behaviour". name and title
// data from each "row" from your columns array is mapped to a
// corresponding item in the new "options" array
return { value : row.name, label : row.title }
})
/*
options will now contain this:
[
{ value: 'OrderNumber', label: 'Order Number' },
{ value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
{ value: 'vanilla', label: 'Vanilla' }
];
*/
For more information, see the MDN documentation for .map()
Use destructuring
with renaming property will simplify.
const options = [
{ value: "chocolate", label: "Chocolate" },
{ value: "strawberry", label: "Strawberry" },
{ value: "vanilla", label: "Vanilla" },
];
const columns = options.map(({ value: name, label: title }) => ({
name,
title,
}));
console.log(columns);
If you just want to rename the name
property to value
you can use a map
and destruct the name
property as value
and pick the rest.
const columns = [
{ name: 'OrderNumber', title: 'Order Number' },
{ name: 'strawberry', title: 'Strawberry' },
{ name: 'vanilla', title: 'Vanilla' }
];
const newColumns = columns.map( item => {
const { name: value, ...rest } = item;
return { value, ...rest }
}
);
console.log( newColumns );
But, I suspect that you would want this since react-select
doesn't work (as far as I see) with title
. It waits for a label
prop I guess. If this is so, go with and change all the properties as @Dacre Denny suggested. I like arrow functions :) So:
const newColumns = columns.map( item =>
( { value: item.name, label: item.title } )
);
