Convert an Array into an Object in JavaScript
Jul 31, 2020
In JavaScript, arrays are technically objects.
const arr = ['hello', 'world'];
arr instanceof Object; // trueFor example, you can use Object.keys() and Object.entries() to get all the array's keys.
Object.keys(arr); // ['0', '1']
Object.entries(arr); // [ [ '0', 'hello' ], [ '1', 'world' ] ]However, sometimes it is convenient to convert an array into a POJO.
The easiest way to do that is using Object.assign():
const obj = Object.assign({}, arr);
obj instanceof Object; // true
Array.isArray(obj); // false
obj; // { '0': 'hello', '1': 'world' }
