pass array of objects to array

Question

I’ve the following object which needs to get and array of values

 const myVal: QuickPickItem[] = [data.result.eventDefinitions.data]

The array should get items like [ “a1”,”a2”,”a3”]

The data.result.eventDefinitions.data is array of objects,

data.result.eventDefinitions.data = 
{
name:”aaaa”
desc:”test”

},
{
name:”bbbb”
desc:”test2”

}

How should I pass the values of names to myVal to be an array like

[ “aaaa”,bbbb”] , should I use lodash?

That can be done with the native array.map()

Just pass the items to map than have it return the value of name and you will end up with the array you specified.

let newArray = data.result.eventDefinitions.data.map(item => item.name)
