Combine the values of two arrays into object

Let’s break it down.

You have two arrays of equal length and you want to extract a value from each.

// Could also do array2.length since they're the same size
for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
  var val1 = array1[i];
  var val2 = array2[i]
}

and you want to create an object using those two values

for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
  var val1 = array1[i];
  var val2 = array2[i]
  var obj = {
    meta: val1,
    value: val2
  };
}

Finally, you want to store each of those generated objects in an array

var result = [];
for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
  var val1 = array1[i];
  var val2 = array2[i]
  var obj = {
    meta: val1,
    value: val2
  };
  result.push(obj);
}

And now you have your result!

You could rewrite this in a number of ways. For example:

var result = array1.map(function(val1, index) {
  return {
    meta: val1,
    value: array2[index]
  };
});

or if you’re in an environment which supports it:

let result = array1.map((val1, index) => (
  {
    meta: val1,
    value: array2[index]
  }
));
