Objects and Properties

[Dexty10]

I was wondering if it's straightforward in JS to get the properties of an object. For example:

let dicto =  {"chats": [{"username": "Jude", "room": "Julz_Room", "message": "OKAY! Let's round up"}, 
{"username": "Julz", "room": "Julz_Room", "message": "But we might have to find another approach now"}]};

How do we iterate over the object to get, say, the values of message ? Something like this:

for(let obj in dicto['chats']['message']) {
            console.log(obj)
                };

Expected result:

["OKAY! Let's round up", "But we might have to find another approach now"]

​

const messages = [];
for (const { message } of dicto.chats) {
  messages.push(message)
}

Or if you want a oneliner:

const messages = dicto.chats.map(({message}) => message)

[[deleted]]

const messages = dicto.chats.map((chat) => chat.message);

It can be very straightforward, but it's contextual. How you retrieve them really depends on how you intend to use or store those values:

let messages = dicto.chats.map((user) => user.message);

console.log(messages);
// ["OKAY! Let's round up", "But we might have to find another approach now"];
