Convert array to list of objects

Question

I have an object

myObject = {
  10: "some value",
  15: "another value",
  ...
}

can I with underscore, jquery, or plain js convert it into a list as:

myList = [
  { label: 10, value: "some value" },
  { label: 15, value: "another value" },
  ...
]

It looks more like you want to convert an object to an array with objects. — putvande

With underscore.js

myList = _.map(_.pairs(myObject), function(n){
     return {label: n[0], value: n[1]}
});

Or with plain JavaScript

myList = Object.keys(myObject).map(function(key){
    return {label: key, value: myObject[key]}
});

You can use map to transform the object into the required form:

    var myList = _.map(myObject, function(value, key){
        return {
            label: key,
            value: value
        }
    });
