How to create an array of object literals in a loop?

Question

I need to create an array of object literals like this:

var myColumnDefs = [
    {key:\"label\", sortable:true, resizeable:true},
    {key:\"notes\", sortabl         


        

Answer 1

In the same idea of Nick Riggs but I create a constructor, and a push a new object in the array by using it. It avoid the repetition of the keys of the class:

var arr = [];
var columnDefs = function(key, sortable, resizeable){
    this.key = key; 
    this.sortable = sortable; 
    this.resizeable = resizeable;
    };

for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    arr.push((new columnDefs(oFullResponse.results[i].label,true,true)));
}

Answer 2

This is what Array#map are good at

var arr = oFullResponse.results.map(obj => ({
    key: obj.label,
    sortable: true,
    resizeable: true
}))

If you want to go even further than @tetra with ES6 you can use the Object spread syntax and do something like this:

let john = {
    firstName: "John",
    lastName: "Doe",
};

let people = new Array(10).fill().map((e, i) => {(...john, id: i});
