How do i create a JSON file from an array using Nodejs?

Here's a Node.js script that create a JSON file from an array:

import fs from 'fs'
const dateObjects = [];
let newArray = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "rice", "shake"]
newArray.forEach((i) => {
  const dateObject = {
    name: i
  };
  dateObjects.push(dateObject);
});

const jsonData = JSON.stringify(dateObjects, null, 2);
fs.writeFile('output.json', jsonData, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error writing JSON file:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('JSON file has been created successfully!');
  }
});

After running this script, you will find a output.json file in the same directory containing the generated JSON data.

output.json:

[
  {
    "name": "apple"
  },
  {
    "name": "banana"
  },
  {
    "name": "cherry"
  },
  {
    "name": "rice"
  },
  {
    "name": "shake"
  }
]

Happy Coding! ❤️
