Equivalent of Underscore.js _.pluck in jQuery

Question

Does anyone know of a 'pluck' plugin that matches the underscore array method?

pluck_.pluck(list, propertyName)  

A convenient version of what is perhaps the most common use-case for map: extracting a list of property values.

var stooges = [{name : 'moe', age : 40}, {name : 'larry', age : 50}, {name : 'curly', age : 60}]; _.pluck(stooges, 'name'); => ["moe", "larry", "curly"] 

Google is not helping me much today. Any pointers much appreciated

Answer 1

You can do it with an expression;

var arr = $.map(stooges, function(o) { return o["name"]; })
