Is there any function in jQuery that is equivalent to PHP's array_column()?

Question

What is the equivalent to PHP\'s array_column() in jQuery? I need the data inside the array without looping, in the same way as in PHP.

Answer 1

You can do it with .map(). Immagine a fetch of database rows.

var array = [
    {
        id: 1,
        name: 'foo'
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        name: 'bar'
    },
];
var names = arrayColumn(array, 'name');
console.log(names);

function arrayColumn(array, columnName) {
    return array.map(function(value,index) {
        return value[columnName];
    })
}
