From an array of objects, extract only specific value of a property as array

Question

I have JavaScript array of object with the following structure:

var arrayObj = [
  {

    "Rank": 1,
    "Title": "The Shawshank Redemption",
    "Description": "Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.",
    "Runtime": 142,
    "Genre": "Crime",
    "Rating": 9.3,
    "Metascore": 80,
    "Votes": 1934970,
    "Gross_Earning_in_Mil": 28.34,
    "Director": "Frank Darabont",
    "Actor": "Tim Robbins",
    "Year": 1994
  },

  {

    "Rank": 2,
    "Title": "The Godfather",
    "Description": "The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.",
    "Runtime": 175,
    "Genre": "Crime",
    "Rating": 9.2,
    "Metascore": 100,
    "Votes": 1323670,
    "Gross_Earning_in_Mil": 134.97,
    "Director": "Francis Ford Coppola",
    "Actor": "Marlon Brando",
    "Year": 1972
  }]

I want to extract a field from each object except the "Director", and get an array containing the values, for example

[[1,
    'The Shawshank Redemption',
    'Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and 
     eventual redemption through acts of common decency.',
    142,
    'Crime',
    9.3,
    80,
    1934970,
    28.34,
    'Tim Robbins',
    1994 ],

[ 2,
    'The Godfather',
    'The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control 
     of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.',
    175,
    'Crime',
    9.2,
    100,
    1323670,
    134.97,
    'Marlon Brando',
    1972 ]]

What have you tried so far? Can you post some code or a fiddle? — BattlFrog

Please format your code so we can see the array's shape more clearly. Also, our only guess as to what your problem is is from the title. Please elaborate on it in the description. — pteranobyte

You could exclude a key by destructuring and using the rest properties.

var array = [{ Rank: 1, Title: "The Shawshank Redemption", Description: "Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.", Runtime: 142, Genre: "Crime", Rating: 9.3, Metascore: 80, Votes: 1934970, Gross_Earning_in_Mil: 28.34, Director: "Frank Darabont", Actor: "Tim Robbins", Year: 1994 }, { Rank: 2, Title: "The Godfather", Description: "The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.", Runtime: 175, Genre: "Crime", Rating: 9.2, Metascore: 100, Votes: 1323670, Gross_Earning_in_Mil: 134.97, Director: "Francis Ford Coppola", Actor: "Marlon Brando", Year: 1972 }],
    result = array.map(({ Director, ...o }) => o);

console.log(result);
