Convert an object to a key/value object in TypeScript

I am new to TypeScript and I have the given object:

let obj = {hash: 'foo', filename: 'bar', blob_size: 'bas'};

And I would like to convert it into the following

{'foo': ['bar', 'bas']}

This was my first attempt:

[...obj.values()].map((v) => {v.hash: [v.filename, v.blob_size]}]

But that seems to be invalid in TS. In other languages I would have called it simply Array and Dictionary or Map. Could someone give me a hint how to convert the first to the second example? And also, what would be the corresponding type names? In both cases typeof just returns Object.

TypeScript shape of your destination object could be defined as:

type HashObj = {
  [hash: string]: string[]
}

Basically an object with key of string and value of string array

You can convert to it this way:

let obj = { hash: 'foo', filename: 'bar', blob_size: 'bas' };
const result: HashObj = { [obj.hash]: [obj.filename, obj.blob_size] };
