Adding an object into an array

I have the following object:

{
  "EekvB3cnwEzE":{
     "name":"hi",
  },
  "Brv1R4C6bZnD":{
     "name":"yup",
  },
  "kRwRXju6ALJZ":{
     "name":"okay",
  }
}

I am trying to add each of these items into an array. I do the following code but for some reason, I get back [] in my console.log

Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

$scope.items = [];

$http.get("/url").success(function(data) {
    $.each(data, function(key, value) { $scope.items[key] = value; });
    console.log($scope.items);
});

Named keys will be ignored when you log an array.

If you want them to show up there, you'll need to replace key (in this bit of code $scope.items[key]) with a number or use a .push(value) instead of an assignment.

There must be something wrong with your ajax call. Because the following works:

var x = [];
$.each({
  "EekvB3cnwEzE":{
     "name":"hi",
  },
  "Brv1R4C6bZnD":{
     "name":"yup",
  },
  "kRwRXju6ALJZ":{
     "name":"okay",
  }
}, function(key, value){
    x[key] = value;
});
console.log(x);

It will log:

[EekvB3cnwEzE: Object, Brv1R4C6bZnD: Object, kRwRXju6ALJZ: Object]
