Answer 1

I want to convert this particular array into an array of objects as shown below

If you want to change the actual array in place (rather than creating a new array), you can use a for loop to iterate the indexes of your array. For each index, you can replace the value with an object {name: arr[i]}. This object has a name key, and takes a value which is the current element arr[i].

const arr = [ "124857202", "500255104", "78573M104" ];
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  arr[i] = {name: arr[i]};
}
console.log(arr);
