I'm developing a React application where I need to convert a key-value object like this:

{
  0: 'John',
  1: 'Tim',
  2: 'Matt'
};

To an array of just the values like this:

['John', 'Tim', 'Matt']

How do I accomplish this?

const obj = {
  0: 'John',
  1: 'Tim',
  2: 'Matt'
};

const arr = /* ??? */;

You could use Object.values.

The Object.values() method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property values, in the same order as that provided by a for...in loop (the difference being that a for-in loop enumerates properties in the prototype chain as well).

var object = { 0: 'John', 1: 'Tim', 2: 'Matt' }, 
    array = Object.values(object);
    
console.log(array);

With ES6, you could use Array.from and use a callback for the values.

var object = { 0: 'John', 1: 'Tim', 2: 'Matt' }, 
    array = Array.from(Object.keys(object), k => object[k]);
    
console.log(array);

    `Object.values` is not in ES6 included, coming with ES7. He wants something in ES6. –  Jul 31 '17 at 09:17

You can make use of Object.values command.

According to the docs.

Object.values() returns an array whose elements are the enumerable property values found on the object. The ordering of the properties is the same as that given by looping over the property values of the object manually

Although it is an ES2017 solution but since you are using react, you can include stage-0 as a preset for babel and access this functionality

var data ={
  0: 'John',
  1: 'Tim',
  2: 'Matt'
};

var newdata = Object.values(data);
console.log(newdata);

there are other methods like Object.keys which gives you all the keys as an array and Object.entries method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property [key, value] pairs which might also be useful to you

const obj = {
  0: 'John',
  1: 'Tim',
  2: 'Matt'
};

const arr = [];
for(let key in obj){
  arr.push(obj[key]);
}

While you have numerical keys and in an order without gaps, you could use Object.assign with an array as target and the given object as source.

var object = { 0: 'John', 1: 'Tim', 2: 'Matt' }, 
    array = Object.assign([], object);
    
console.log(array);

This is commonly used one:

const obj={
           1:'Azamat',
           2: 'Kanybek',
           3: 'Manas'}

console.log(Object.values(obj))

for key, value pairs:

const arr = [];

for(let key in obj){
  arr.push([key,obj[key]])
  
}
console.log(arr)
