In a few sentences

In brief

Object.fromEntries() creates an object of key-value pairs. Check the repeated keys if you don't want later values to replace earlier ones.

Useful to know

Object.fromEntries() converts a sequence of key-value pairs into an object. Can use a list of pairs or Map. The result is convenient when the data has already been processed as a sequence, but at the end you need access by name. [1]

The example Object.fromEntries([['lang', 'bg'], ['limit', 10]]) creates {lang: 'bg', limit: 10}. The number 10 remains a number in this example; the method does not convert it to text just because the property name is textual.

In [['lang', 'bg'], ['lang', 'en']], the final object has lang with a value of 'en'. If repetition is an error, check the pairs before conversion. After it, the earlier value can no longer be recovered from the resulting object.

Useful sequence is Object.entries(), pair processing and Object.fromEntries(). Keep the conversion rule close to the code to make it clear which properties are retained and which ones are changed.
