[ \"124857202\", \"500255104\", \"78573M104\" ]

I want to convert this particular array into an array of obje

Answer 1

Use Array#map to convert each value into a different value:

var newArr = arr.map(function(value) {
  return {name: value};
});

Array#map applies the callback to each element in the array and returns a new array containing the return values of the callback.
