Discussion

The A5.u.array.series.from method takes an arbitrary number of series arrays and converts them into a single array of objects. The name of each property in each array item object is controlled by the "names" property in the settings object. Defaults for missing values can be defined with the "blank" property.

Example

var arr = A5.u.array.series.from(["Bob","Fred"],["Thomas","Mills","Baker"],[45,23],{
	names: ['fn','ln','age'],
	blank: ['[none]','[none]','[unknown]']
});
// arr = [
//	{"fn":"Bob","ln":"Thomas","age":45},
//	{"fn":"Fred","ln":"Mills","age":23},
//	{"fn":"[none]","ln":"Baker","age":"[unknown]"}
// ]
