Accessing (n)th key from an object

[somonek]

The use case is:
(long story short)

I have an array of items coming from an api. They're converted to an object
having the ids as keys for faster access of single items and loaded to a
global store.
Then in React.js and I want to render only the first 2 items with a "See
more" that would render the rest of them.
It would be handy (and probably more performant when the object is big as
in my case) to have:

const product1 = myItems[in 0];
const product2 = myItems[in 1];

instead of converting everything to an array first and then accessing the
first items by index.
