Question

There is an object array:

1
objArray = [ { foo: 1, bar: 2}, { foo: 3, bar: 4}, { foo: 5, bar: 6} ];

How to extract the values of key foo into an arrya like [1, 3, 5]?

Answer

ES 6

By using map and => function can easily make it happen.

1
var result = objArray.map(a => a.foo);

ES 5

Since ES 5 doesn’t support =>, so we need a function to get the value.

1
var result = objArray.map(function(a) {return a.foo;});
