how to use .map on an array of objects code example

Example 1: javascript create array of objects with map

var arr = [{
  id: 1,
  name: 'bill'
}, {
  id: 2,
  name: 'ted'
}]

var result = arr.map(person => ({ value: person.id, text: person.name }));
console.log(result)

Example 2: 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]
