How to convert an array of key-value tuples into an object

Question

I have an array:

[ [ \'cardType\', \'iDEBIT\' ],
  [ \'txnAmount\', \'17.64\' ],
  [ \'txnId\', \'20181\' ],
  [ \'txnType\', \'Purchase\' ],
  [ \'txnDate\         


        

Answer 1

A more idiomatic approach would be to use Array.prototype.reduce:

var arr = [
  [ 'cardType', 'iDEBIT' ],
  [ 'txnAmount', '17.64' ],
  [ 'txnId', '20181' ],
  [ 'txnType', 'Purchase' ],
  [ 'txnDate', '2015/08/13 21:50:04' ],
  [ 'respCode', '0' ],
  [ 'isoCode', '0' ],
  [ 'authCode', '' ],
  [ 'acquirerInvoice', '0' ],
  [ 'message', '' ],
  [ 'isComplete', 'true' ],
  [ 'isTimeout', 'false' ]
];

var obj = arr.reduce(function (o, currentArray) {
  var key = currentArray[0], value = currentArray[1]
  o[key] = value
  return o
}, {})

console.log(obj)
document.write(JSON.stringify(obj).split(',').join(',
'))

This is more visually appealing, when done with ES6 (rest parameters) syntax:

let obj = arr.reduce((o, [ key, value ]) => {
    o[key] = value
    return o
}, {})
