Is there a clever (i.e. optimized) way to rename a key in a javascript object?
A non-optimized way would be:
o[ new_key ] = o[ old_key ];
delete o[ o
In case someone needs to rename a list of properties:
function renameKeys(obj, newKeys) {
const keyValues = Object.keys(obj).map(key => {
const newKey = newKeys[key] || key;
return { [newKey]: obj[key] };
});
return Object.assign({}, ...keyValues);
}
Usage:
const obj = { a: "1", b: "2" };
const newKeys = { a: "A", c: "C" };
const renamedObj = renameKeys(obj, newKeys);
console.log(renamedObj);
// {A:"1", b:"2"}
