Push multidimensional object to an array and get an array of objects

Question

I am calling an API and got a response an an object in the following form. I would like to append the objects to an array in order to iterate them later.

Using push I got a list of strings == ['Account','AccountName','AccountServiceHomepage'] I would like to push the entire object to the array so for x[0] I get Account as an object not as a string.

Does anyone have a clue?

Snippet

let properties = {
  Account: {
    label: 'Account',
    key: 'Account',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: 'test' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountName: {
    label: 'AccountName',
    key: 'AccountName',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountServiceHomepage: {
    label: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    key: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  }
}  
  
x = [];
for (i in properties) {
  x.push(i);
};

console.log(x);

PS:: properties is the name of object – Mohamed Amer Feb 01 '23 at 12:59 — Mohamed Amer, Feb 01 '23 at 12:59
please add the wanted result. – Nina Scholz Feb 01 '23 at 13:03 — Nina Scholz, Feb 01 '23 at 13:03
Perhaps you meant `x.push(properties[i]);` – pilchard Feb 01 '23 at 13:05 — pilchard, Feb 01 '23 at 13:05

let properties = {
  Account: {
    label: 'Account',
    key: 'Account',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: 'test' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountName: {
    label: 'AccountName',
    key: 'AccountName',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  },
  AccountServiceHomepage: {
    label: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    key: 'AccountServiceHomepage',
    description: { en: '' },
    prefLabel: { en: '' },
    usageCount: '0'
  }
}

x = [];
for (i in properties) {
  x.push(properties[i]);
};

console.log(x);

Up vote, but answers should also include a description of how the code works. For example, "Change the code to push the object rather than the key name using x.push(properties[i])" — Yogi, Feb 01 '23 at 13:25

You can convert object to an array (ignoring keys) like this:

const items = Object.values();

`values` returns already an array, not an iterator. – Nina Scholz Feb 01 '23 at 13:04
@NinaScholz right, I keep forgetting which ones return an array. What were the examples returning an iterator? – Robo Robok Feb 01 '23 at 13:13
for example [`Array#keys`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/keys). – Nina Scholz Feb 01 '23 at 13:14
@NinaScholz oh yeah, so `[1, 2, 3].keys()` returns an array, but `Object.keys([1, 2, 3])` returns an iterator. What a mess, I wonder if the only explanation of this is legacy. – Robo Robok Feb 01 '23 at 13:15
vice versa .... – Nina Scholz Feb 01 '23 at 14:07

Try this:

for (let property in properties) {
    propertiesArray.push(properties[property]);
}

rather iterate the `Object.keys()` to avoid unexpected inherited properties. (might as well use `Object.values()` at that point) – pilchard Feb 01 '23 at 13:07
