How to produce an array from an object where the number of elements is determined by Object.values?

Question

I have an object like so:

{ green: 2, blue: 1, red: 2}

How can I turn it into an array that looks like this:

[ \'green\', \         


        

Answer 1

var data={ green: 2, blue: 1, red: 2};
var newData=[];
for(let i in data){
    for(let j=0;j<data[i];j++){
        newData.push(i);
    }
}
console.log('newData = ', newData);

output

newData = ["green", "green", "blue", "red", "red"]
