ES6 Map to return an array of object keys only

Question

I'm trying to write a method which will help me return an array of the object keys of all the currencies. But, I'm stuck at a point where I get the complete array of objects with key, value pair.

And yes, I primarily need to use ES6 methods. I wouldn't want to use any other iterators.

For e.g. : What I need:

['AED', 'ALL', 'AUD', 'EUR' .....]

What I get :

[{AED: {"isDefault": true}}, {ALL: {"isDefault": true}}, {AUD: {"isDefault": true}}, {'EUR': {"isDefault": true}}.....]

Could you please help me achieve this?

Here's the code:

var myJSON = {
	  "countryCode": {
	  "Australia": "AU",
	  "United States": "US",
	  "Britain": "GB",
	  "Japan": "JP",
	  "India": "IND",
	  "France": "FR",
	  "Russia": "RS"
	},
	"countries": {
		"AE": {
		  "currencies": {
			"AED": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"AL": {
		  "currencies": {
			"ALL": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"AU": {
		  "currencies": {
			"AUD": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"US": {
		  "currencies": {
			"USD": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"GB": {
		  "currencies": {
			"EUR": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"FR": {
		  "currencies": {
			"EUR": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"JP": {
		  "currencies": {
			"JPY": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		},
		"RS": {
		  "currencies": {
			"RSD": {
			  "isDefault": false
			}
		  }
		},
		"ZA": {
		  "currencies": {
			"ZAR": {
			  "isDefault": true
			}
		  }
		}
	  }
	};
	
	function getData() {
	  const myArr = Object.keys(myJSON.countries).map((k) => myJSON.countries[k]);
	  console.log(myArr);	
	  const myArr1 = myArr.map((currency) => currency.currencies);
	  console.log(myArr1);
	  const myArr2 = myArr1.map((key, value) => key);
	  console.log(myArr2);
	}

<button onclick="getData()">Get Data</button>

You could take the first key of the objects.

myArr1.map((key, value) => Object.keys(key)[0]);

function getData() {
    const result = Object
            .keys(myJSON.countries)
            .map(k => myJSON.countries[k])
            .map(({ currencies }) => currencies)
            .map(currency => Object.keys(currency)[0]);

    console.log(result);
}

var myJSON = { countryCode: { Australia: "AU", "United States": "US", Britain: "GB", Japan: "JP", India: "IND", France: "FR", Russia: "RS" }, countries: { AE: { currencies: { AED: { isDefault: true } } }, AL: { currencies: { ALL: { isDefault: true } } }, AU: { currencies: { AUD: { isDefault: true } } }, US: { currencies: { USD: { isDefault: true } } }, GB: { currencies: { EUR: { isDefault: true } } }, FR: { currencies: { EUR: { isDefault: true } } }, JP: { currencies: { JPY: { isDefault: true } } }, RS: { currencies: { RSD: { isDefault: false } } }, ZA: { currencies: { ZAR: { isDefault: true } } } } };

<button onclick="getData()">Get Data</button>

Or just in a single step:

function getData() {
    const result = Object
            .keys(myJSON.countries)
            .map(k => Object.keys(myJSON.countries[k].currencies)[0]);

    console.log(result);
}

var myJSON = { countryCode: { Australia: "AU", "United States": "US", Britain: "GB", Japan: "JP", India: "IND", France: "FR", Russia: "RS" }, countries: { AE: { currencies: { AED: { isDefault: true } } }, AL: { currencies: { ALL: { isDefault: true } } }, AU: { currencies: { AUD: { isDefault: true } } }, US: { currencies: { USD: { isDefault: true } } }, GB: { currencies: { EUR: { isDefault: true } } }, FR: { currencies: { EUR: { isDefault: true } } }, JP: { currencies: { JPY: { isDefault: true } } }, RS: { currencies: { RSD: { isDefault: false } } }, ZA: { currencies: { ZAR: { isDefault: true } } } } };

You can use map & for..in loop to iterate over the object

var myJSON = {
  "countryCode": {
    "Australia": "AU",
    "United States": "US",
    "Britain": "GB",
    "Japan": "JP",
    "India": "IND",
    "France": "FR",
    "Russia": "RS"
  },
  "countries": {
    "AE": {
      "currencies": {
        "AED": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "AL": {
      "currencies": {
        "ALL": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "AU": {
      "currencies": {
        "AUD": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "US": {
      "currencies": {
        "USD": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "GB": {
      "currencies": {
        "EUR": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "FR": {
      "currencies": {
        "EUR": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "JP": {
      "currencies": {
        "JPY": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    },
    "RS": {
      "currencies": {
        "RSD": {
          "isDefault": false
        }
      }
    },
    "ZA": {
      "currencies": {
        "ZAR": {
          "isDefault": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

function getData() {
  // get countries object
  let getCountries = myJSON.countries;
  // get all country short names in an array
  var ctr = Object.keys(getCountries);
  // iterate that array using map 
  var getCur = ctr.map(function(item) {
    // in countries object get the object where the country shortname
    // matches the object key. Get the curriencies usin for ..in loop
    for (let keys in getCountries[item].currencies) {
      return keys
    }
  })
  console.log(getCur)
}

<button onclick="getData()">Get Data</button>

Thank you :) But, unfortunately, I don't want to use any of the primitive javascript iterators.

Is there any specific reason for this? If you are worried about performance manual for loops are actually conciderably faster, even if slightly less readable.

One-liner:

result = [].concat(...Object.values(data.countries).map(x => x.currencies).map(Object.keys))

where data is your object

you can simply use:
Object.keys(myJSON.countries).map(con => Object.keys(myJSON.countries[con].currencies));
