[removed] convert two dimensional array to array of objects using the first 'row' to define properties

Question

In order to populate a data-grid that receives array of row objects, I am looking for a good solution to convert an array such as this:

[  
[\'country\', \'p         


        

Answer 1

You would need to use a bit of iteration to do this! The following code is an untested example to demonstrate what you would have to do.

function convertToObjectArray(table)
{
    var output = [];

    for(var i = 1; i < table.length; i++)
    {
        var obj = {};
        for(var x = 0; x < table[0].length; x++)
         obj[table[0][x]] = table[i][x];

         output.push(obj);
    }

    return output;
}

Another note with this example is you should edit this, however, to make sure the subsequent arrays are the same length or you could run into null values.
