How to iterate the key value pairs of an object in an array in javascript-CodePudding

I have some data I'd like to display in my front end but its name property is an array of objects, with an object nested in that object. This is how the data is structured in the request:

name: Array [ {…} ]

  0: Object { 0: "E", 1: "r", 2: "i", … }

    0: "E"

    1: "r"

    2: "i"

    3: "c"

    4: " "

    5: "C"

    6: " "

    7: "P"

    8: "e"

    9: "z"

    10: "z"

    11: "u"

    12: "l"

    13: "o"

    _id: "6186b6777a38b7da536a6ffd"

<prototype>: Object { … }

length: 1

I can't map through it (userData.name[0].map) because its not an array.

Whats the correct way to iterate though an object like this and join each letter together?

As of right now I'm using this

  const fullName = Object.values(userData.name[0]);
  console.log(fullName);
  fullName.pop();
  const name = fullName.join("");
  console.log(name);

Which gives me what I'm looking for (// Eric C Pezzulo)

Its not pretty but it works, If anyone has a simpler way to do this or clean this up I'm open to any suggestions.

Something like this may look a little cleaner

const arr = [
  {
    0: 'E',
    1: 'r',
    2: 'i',
    3: 'c',
    4: ' ',
    5: 'C',
    6: ' ',
    7: 'P',
    8: 'e',
    9: 'z',
    10: 'z',
    11: 'u',
    12: 'l',
    13: 'o',
    _id: '6186b6777a38b7da536a6ffd'
  }
];

const fullName = Object.values(arr[0]).slice(0, -1).join('');
console.log(fullName);

I don't know that there's a simpler way, but if you use slice you can do it all in one chained line. You could also create a function, for readability and extension.

const arr = [{
  0: 'E', 1: 'r', 2: 'i', 3: 'c', 4: ' ', 5: 'C', 6: ' ',
  7: 'P', 8: 'e', 9: 'z', 10: 'z', 11: 'u', 12: 'l', 13: 'o',
  _id: '6186b6777a38b7da536a6ffd'
}];

let name = Object.values(arr[0]).slice(0,-1).join('');
console.log(name);

const getFull=(o)=>Object.values(o).slice(0,-1).join('');
console.log(getFull(arr[0]));

Or to transform all:

const arr = [{
  0: 'E', 1: 'r', 2: 'i', 3: 'c', 4: ' ', 5: 'C', 6: ' ',
  7: 'P', 8: 'e', 9: 'z', 10: 'z', 11: 'u', 12: 'l', 13: 'o',
  _id: '6186b6777a38b7da536a6ffd'
},{
  0: 'C', 1: 'h', 2: 'r', 3: 'i', 4: 's', 5: ' ',
  7: 'S', 8: 't', 9: 'r', 10: 'i', 11: 'c', 12: 'k', 13: 'l', 14: 'a', 15: 'n', 16: 'd',
  _id: '6186b6777a38b7da536a6ffd'
}];

const getFull=(o)=>Object.values(o).slice(0,-1).join('');
let buffer = arr.map(a=>getFull(a));
console.log(buffer);
