How can I transform a big object to array with lodash?

var obj = {
  22: {name:\"John\", id:22, friends:[5,31,55], works:{books:[],

If you want some custom mapping (like original Array.prototype.map) of Object into an Array, you can just use _.forEach:

let myObject = {
  key1: "value1",
  key2: "value2",
  // ...
};

let myNewArray = [];

_.forEach(myObject, (value, key) => {
  myNewArray.push({
    someNewKey: key,
    someNewValue: value.toUpperCase() // just an example of new value based on original value
  });
});

// myNewArray => [{ someNewKey: key1, someNewValue: 'VALUE1' }, ... ];

See lodash doc of _.forEach https://lodash.com/docs/#forEach
