How to Convert flat array to Object with key within an array in Javascript

Question

how to convert this:

var arr = ['a','b','c']

to this

arr = [{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'c'}]

I already tried this code

arr.forEach((key,name) => Object.assign(obj, { name: key }));

`arr.forEach( (key,name) => arr[key] = { name: name } );` – GrafiCode Jun 04 '21 at 08:58 — GrafiCode, Jun 04 '21 at 08:58
`const output = arr.map(name => ({ name }))` – adiga Jun 04 '21 at 09:00 — adiga, Jun 04 '21 at 09:00

You can use map to create a new array.

const arr = ['a','b','c'];
const result = arr.map(el => ({ name: el }));
console.log(result);
