Adding key to javascript array

Question

I used this vue.js library that requires an array in this format

    autocompleteItems: [
  {
    text: "Css"
  },
  {
    text: "Javascript"
  },
  {
    text: "Java"
  },
  {
    text: "Web Design"
  },
  {
    text: "Spring"
  }
],

However I need to get the items of that array from other array, how do I turn my "normal" array to this required format?

What you show is a normal array. It just happens to contain objects with a text property. — crashmstr

I didn't know this was called an array of objects, i suppose by normal array I meant array of strings, so like array=['Css','Javascript','Java'] and I need to turn that into an array of obejcts with a text property — coder_in_distress

An array has a length and zero or more elements. No requirement for them to be any specific type. ['one', 2, { value: 'three'}] is a valid array. MDN: Array — crashmstr

This is an example that will give you an idea of how to add keys to your data

array=["Css","Javascript","Java","Web Design","Spring"]

result=array.map(o => ({text:o}));
console.log(result)
