Get property from objects to convert to simple array - javascript

Question

I have this array:

[
  {
    "id": "5e235b42a21b160a40c4a82f",
    "title": "category one"
  },
  {
    "id": "5e235b3ea21b160a40c4a82e",
    "title": "category two"
  }
]

And I want to convert it to the following array:

[
  "5e235b42a21b160a40c4a82f",
  "5e235b3ea21b160a40c4a82e"
]

Anyone have a simple suggestion?

Answer 1

The best way to do this is by iterating over the Object values and taking each id value.

The simplest way of doing this is by using .map() like so:

const newArray = myArray.map(item => item.id);

This should take each item and form the id property into an array.
