Writing object to array in function form [duplicate]

Question

How would I write the code below in function form?

var obj = {
  name : 'Tim',
  age : 20,
  hasPets : false
};
console.log(Object.keys(obj).map(function(item){
    return obj[item];
})); //=> [ 'Tim', 20, false ]

For example--this type of function form:

 function objectToArray(obj) {
//code here
};

Thank you!

Simply putting your clog code into the arrayToObject function ? What are exactly I/O you expect ? — Digix

Your question is confusing. Do you want object to array (as the title suggests), or array to object (as the example function name you provide suggests)? — rasmeister

Yes, I meant objectToArray. I just edited it. Sorry! I'm brand new to coding so it may be simple to you but I'm just learning. :) Thanks so much! — learninghowtocode

@sᴜʀᴇsʜᴀᴛᴛᴀ: At least close it as dupe of something like that then. The question is a dupe. The target I chose does literally the same. Don't re-open stuff like this. Even if the close reason isn't a "perfect" match, we don't need dozens of answers on simple stuff like wrapping a few lines in a function. — Cerbrus

This should do

 function getMappedItems(obj) {
  var result =  Object.keys(obj).map(function(item){
    return obj[item];
  });
 return result;
};

Can reduce the above function a bit, but just elaborated as you learning.

How about we at least change the function name to match what it does??

 var objectToArray= function (obj) {
      return Object.keys(obj).map(function(item){
          return obj[item];
      }); 
 };

You should use Object.prototype.objectToArray for a elegant way.

var obj = {
  name : 'Tim',
  age : 20,
  hasPets : false
};

Object.prototype.objectToArray=function(){
    return Object.keys(obj).map(function(item){
        return obj[item];
    }); 
};
console.log(obj.objectToArray())

Dude, don't modify Object.prototype.
