TypeScript enum to object array

Question

I have an enum defined this way:

export enum GoalProgressMeasurements {
    Percentage = 1,
    Numeric_Target = 2,
    Completed_Tasks = 3,
    Average_Mile         


        

Answer 1

enum GoalProgressMeasurements {
    Percentage = 1,
    Numeric_Target = 2,
    Completed_Tasks = 3,
    Average_Milestone_Progress = 4,
    Not_Measured = 5
}
    
const array = []
    
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(GoalProgressMeasurements)) {
    if (!Number.isNaN(Number(key))) {
        continue;
    }

    array.push({ id: value, name: key.replace('_', '') });
}

console.log(array);

Answer 2

First we get an array of keys for this enum. Then, using the map () function, we convert the data to the desired format. id is obtained from the key, name is obtained from enum by the same key.

const converted = Object.keys(GoalProgressMeasurements).map(key => {
        return {
            id: GoalProgressMeasurements[key],
            name: key,
        };
    });

Answer 3

Since enums with Strings values differ from the ones that have number values it is better to filter nonNumbers from @user8363 solution.

Here is how you can get values from enum either strings, numbers of mixed:

    //Helper
    export const StringIsNotNumber = value => isNaN(Number(value)) === true;
    
    // Turn enum into array
    export function enumToArray(enumme) {
      return Object.keys(enumme)
       .filter(StringIsNotNumber)
       .map(key => enumme[key]);
    }

Answer 4

Easy Solution. You can use the following function to convert your Enum to an array of objects.

 buildGoalProgressMeasurementsArray(): Object[] {

    return Object.keys(GoalProgressMeasurements)
              .map(key => ({ id: GoalProgressMeasurements[key], name: key }))
 }

If you needed to strip that underscore off, we could use regex as follows:

buildGoalProgressMeasurementsArray(): Object[] {

    return Object.keys(GoalProgressMeasurements)
              .map(key => ({ id: GoalProgressMeasurements[key], name: key.replace(/_/g, ' ') }))
 }

Answer 5

Enums are real objects that exist at runtime. So you are able to reverse the mapping doing something like this:

let value = GoalProgressMeasurements.Not_Measured;
console.log(GoalProgressMeasurements[value]);
// => Not_Measured

Based on that you can use the following code:

export enum GoalProgressMeasurements {
    Percentage = 1,
    Numeric_Target = 2,
    Completed_Tasks = 3,
    Average_Milestone_Progress = 4,
    Not_Measured = 5
}

let map: {id: number; name: string}[] = [];

for(var n in GoalProgressMeasurements) {
    if (typeof GoalProgressMeasurements[n] === 'number') {
        map.push({id: <any>GoalProgressMeasurements[n], name: n});
    }
}

console.log(map);

Answer 6

There is a simple solution, So when you run Object.keys(Enum) that gonna give you a Array of Values and Keys, in first slice Values and in the second one keys, so why we don't just return the second slice, this code below works for me.

enum Enum {
   ONE,
   TWO,
   THREE,
   FOUR,
   FIVE,
   SIX,
   SEVEN
}
const keys = Object.keys(Enum); 
console.log(keys.slice(keys.length / 2));
