I am calling an API and got a response an an object in the following form. I would like to append the objects to an array in order to iterate them later.

Using push I got a list of strings == ['Account','AccountName','AccountServiceHomepage'] I would like to push the entire object to the array so for x[0] I get Account as an object not as a string.

Does anyone have a clue?

Snippet

let properties = {
  Account: {
    label: 'Account',
    key: 'Account',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: 'test' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountName: {
    label: 'AccountName',
    key: 'AccountName',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountServiceHomepage: {
    label: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    key: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  }
}  
  
x = [];
for (i in properties) {
  x.push(i);
};

console.log(x);

You can convert object to an array (ignoring keys) like this:

const items = Object.values();

values returns already an array, not an iterator.
@NinaScholz right, I keep forgetting which ones return an array. What were the examples returning an iterator?
for example Array#keys.
@NinaScholz oh yeah, so [1, 2, 3].keys() returns an array, but Object.keys([1, 2, 3]) returns an iterator. What a mess, I wonder if the only explanation of this is legacy.
vice versa ....

Try this:

for (let property in properties) {
    propertiesArray.push(properties[property]);
}

rather iterate the Object.keys() to avoid unexpected inherited properties. (might as well use Object.values() at that point)
