What do you mean _"using react"_? This seems to be a basic JS task, iterating in groups of a given length, in which case see https://stackoverflow.com/q/28359919/3001761. Also note in JS nomenclature those are _objects_, not _dictionaries_, and _arrays_, not _lists_. – jonrsharpe Mar 23 '22 at 17:40

What is the algorithm behind your example? – Nachtgold Mar 24 '22 at 08:03

Literally splitting a list into groups of n, where each item corresponds to a unique dictionary key. – Ajax Mar 25 '22 at 18:30

You can use reduce for this:
['a', 'b', 'c'].reduce((acc, currentValue, currentIndex) => {
acc.push({ [currentIndex]: currentValue });
return acc;
}, []);
Here's a great Twitter post that explains how various array methods work:
