I have an API handler where I want to take an array of unformatted user input and turn it into formatted data.
const _richTextStructure =
{
text: { content: null},
}
;
function stuff2RichText(stuff){
let obj = _richTextStructure;
obj.text.content = stuff;
arr=[obj];
return arr;}
let sample = ["one", "two", "three"];
let newSample = sample.map(txt=>stuff2RichText(txt))
console.log(newSample)
Now I would expect this to return "one", "two" and "three", wrapped in the RT structure, but instead it gives me:
[[{
text: {
content: "three"
}
}],
[{
text: {
content: "three"
}
}],
[{
text: {
content: "three"
}
}]]
Could anyone explain why this doesn't work when e.g. sample.map(txt=>txt.toUppercase) returns exactly what you'd expect?
