Combine the values of two arrays into object

Question

I have two arrays:

array1 = [\"Bob\", \"John\", \"Dave\"];
array2 = [1, 2, 3];

Is there combine the two into a javascript array filled with obj

It's one of the ways how to achieve it. You can use Array#forEach function to iterate over every element from array1. Then, create empty object and set specified properties - in your case: meta and value. Then - assign elements to it and just push it into the arr variable.

var array1 = ["Bob", "John", "Dave"],
    array2 = [1, 2, 3],
    arr = [];

array1.forEach(function(v,i){
  var obj = {};
  obj.meta = v;
  obj.value = array2[i];
  arr.push(obj);
});

console.log(arr);
