Convert Object to Pairs

Introduction

In this lab, we will be exploring how to create an array of key-value pairs from an object using JavaScript. We will be using the Object.entries() method to extract the keys and values of the object and return them as an array of pairs. This skill is useful when working with APIs or databases that return data in object format.

Converting an Object into an Array of Key-Value Pairs

To convert an object into an array of key-value pairs, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Terminal/SSH and type node to start practicing coding.
2. Use the Object.entries() method to obtain an array of key-value pair arrays from the object.
3. Create a function called objectToPairs that accepts an object as an argument and returns the array of key-value pairs.
4. Call the objectToPairs function with an example object to test the output.

Here's an example implementation:

const objectToPairs = (obj) => Object.entries(obj);
objectToPairs({ a: 1, b: 2 }); // [ ['a', 1], ['b', 2] ]

By following these steps, you can easily convert an object into an array of key-value pairs using JavaScript.
