How to use for…of Loop In Javascript

Navigate every object in the array of objects using a for…of loop, and create another object that puts the key at the desired position for each object in the array.

Example: The below code implements the above-discussed methods to move a key in an array of objects.

JavaScript
const array = [
    {
        name: 'John',
        age: 30,
        gender: 'male'
    },
    {
        name: 'Alice',
        age: 25,
        gender: 'female'
    },
    {
        name: 'Bob',
        age: 35,
        gender: 'male'
    }
];

const newArray = [];
for (const [ind, obj] of
    array.entries()) {
    newArray.push(
        { 
            ...obj, 
            ['index']: ind 
        });
}

console.log(newArray);

Output
[
  { name: 'John', age: 30, gender: 'male', index: 0 },
  { name: 'Alice', age: 25, gender: 'female', index: 1 },
  { name: 'Bob', age: 35, gender: 'male', index: 2 }
]
