Put an object into an array in AngularJS

Question

I am using ag-grid for an application and it only takes arrays to display the rows. I have an object returned from the API. This call always only returns 1 object. I want to convert the object into an array of length 1. This is my code:

jobResult.paged().$promise.then(function (results) {
    //ag-grid needs the result to be in an array
    var arrayResult = [];
    angular.forEach(function(results){
        arrayResult.push(results);
    });
    $scope.jobResult = arrayResult;

    if ($scope.lastResultGridOptions.api) {                         
      $scope.lastResultGridOptions.api.setRowData($scope.jobResult);
                            $scope.lastResultGridOptions.api.sizeColumnsToFit();
}
..rest of function

the results object has the data from the API. But the .foreach function does not push the object into the array. What am I missing?

The documentation is pretty clear on how to use angular.forEach. Perhaps it's time to read it? — Heretic Monkey

Your angular.foreach is wrong,

The correct way is, and then you can take the key or value and push to the array,

 angular.forEach(results, function(value, key){
       //push key or value
       arrayResult.push(value);
   });

The object that I want at the first element of the array is results. What are value and key coming from?

what do you have inside results? is it an array or a object?

I figured it out. I need the value to push. This worked. Thanks for your help despite the basic question.

For your explanation, wanting an array length 1 with the results as [0], why not just push the results into the array:

arrayResult.push(results)

If you are trying to create an array from the results then you would want to run the .forEach on the results:

results.forEach(function(res) { arrayResult.push(res); })
