If your array of objects is items  you can do    x000D   x000D  var items      x000D    id  1  x000D    name   john  x000D       x000D    id  2  x000D    name   jane  x000D       x000D    id  2000  x000D    name   zack  x000D      x000D   x000D  var names   items map function item    x000D    return item  name    x000D      x000D   x000D  console log names   x000D  console log items   x000D   x000D   x000D    Documentation  map

You can use this function   function createStringArray arr  prop       var result          for  var i   0  i  lt  arr length  i    1          result push arr i  prop            return result      Just pass the array of objects and the property you need  The script above will work even in old EcmaScript implementations

You can do this to only monitor own properties of the object   var arr        for  var key in p        if  p hasOwnProperty key             arr push p key
