Javascript ForEach object in bracket array?

Question

I have an array that looks like this:

{ messages:
   [ { username: 'wef', message: 'f', type: 'chat' },
     { username: 'wef', message: 'we', type: 'chat' },
     { username: 'wef', message: 'wefwefwef', type: 'chat' } ] }

How do I loop through all objects in messages? I tried doing a for loop but that just sends the array itself and not each object.

Thanks for any help

You mean, you want to loop thru each property of the object? — Eddie, May 06 '19 at 10:23
@Eddie — They want to loop through all the objects in the array that is the value of messages. — Quentin, May 06 '19 at 10:23
"I tried doing a for loop but that just sends the array itself and not each object." — A for loop is fine. We can't tell what you did wrong when you tried to use one because you forgot to include a [mcve] — Quentin, May 06 '19 at 10:24

take a look

var obj = { messages:
   [ { username: 'wef', message: 'f', type: 'chat' },
     { username: 'wef', message: 'we', type: 'chat' },
     { username: 'wef', message: 'wefwefwef', type: 'chat' } 
]
 }
obj.messages.map(({username, message,type}) => console.log("username, message,type", username, message,type))
