Create an Array of Object from an Array of Strings with Lodash

Question

I have the following array;

["Test1", "Test2", "Test3"]

I want it to be like this;

[{ id: 0, name: "Test1" }, { id: 1, name: "Test2" }, { id: 2, name: "Test3" }]

Any Help? I guess I should somehow use _.object() for this mission.

The map() function is your friend:

_.map(array, function(item, index) {
    return { id: index, name: item };
});

As you are using angular this should simply do the trick.

var newArray = [];
angular.forEach(myArray,function(item, key){
    newArray.push({id:key, name:item});
});

The following solution does not require angular and is just based on lodash:

var newArray = [];

_.forEach(["Test1", "Test2", "Test3"], function (item, key) {
    newArray.push({
        id: key,
        name: item
    });
});
