objectify-array

objectify-array

Recursively convert arrays of objects into a single keyed object tree

Installation

npm install objectify-array --save

or

yarn add objectify-array

Usage

const objectifyArray = require('objectify-array')

var people = [
  {id: 'bob', fullName: 'Bob Bobberson'},
  {id: 'sue', fullName: 'Sue Zinn'},
  {id: 'hal', fullName: 'Hal Itosis'}
]

var tree = objectifyArray(people)

This will return an object, using the id property values as keys:

{
  bob: { id: 'bob', fullName: 'Bob Bobberson' },
  sue: { id: 'sue', fullName: 'Sue Zinn' },
  hal: { id: 'hal', fullName: 'Hal Itosis'}
}

id and name are supported by default. If you want to use another property, specify it as an optional second argument:

var tree = objectifyArray(people, 'myCustomKeyName')

If your array contains nested arrays of objects, those are objectified too! For more extensive usage examples, see test.js
