Using JavaScript, how tdo you convert an Object into an Array

I am creating a helper function to convert a Object of data into an array using javascript. Here is a sample of the data that I want to convert.

const DATA = {
  {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
}

Here is what I want to update the data to.

const DATA = [
  {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
]

Here is what I tried to convert the data.

Object.keys(dateOfConversation).map(i => dateOfConversation[i])

I am guessing I need to use the reduce method, and I do not know how to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your object example is wrong.
I'll go on a limb here and give out a solution while fixing the above stated example:

const DATA = {
  key1: {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
  key2: {
    title: 'Jun 23, 2021',
    data: [
      {
        messageSentTime: '6:32 PM',
        senderAvatar: 'okef8ia9fkil3drzxemy',
        senderMessage: 'FsvaevseVefwe'
      }
    ]
  },
}

// solution
const arr = Object.values(DATA);

console.log(arr);
