JavaScript Array Push key value

Question

Ok, I\'m going a little wrong here and I\'ve already wasted an hour with this so hopefully one of you guys can help me.

var a = [\'left\',\'top\'],
    x = [         


        

Answer 1

You may use:

• Array.prototype.map()
• Array.prototype.reduce()
• Arrow functions
• Comma operator

To create array of objects:

var source = ['left', 'top'];
const result = source.map(arrValue => ({[arrValue]: 0}));

Demo:

var source = ['left', 'top'];

const result = source.map(value => ({[value]: 0}));

console.log(result);

---

Or if you wants to create a single object from values of arrays:

var source = ['left', 'top'];
const result = source.reduce((obj, arrValue) => (obj[arrValue] = 0, obj), {});

Demo:

var source = ['left', 'top'];

const result = source.reduce((obj, arrValue) => (obj[arrValue] = 0, obj), {});

console.log(result);

Answer 2

You have to use bracket notation:

var obj = {};
obj[a[i]] = 0;
x.push(obj);

The result will be:

x = [{left: 0}, {top: 0}];

Maybe instead of an array of objects, you just want one object with two properties:

var x = {};

and

x[a[i]] = 0;

This will result in x = {left: 0, top: 0}.
