Iterate over values of object

It's not a map. It's simply an Object.

Edit: below code is worse than OP's, as Amit pointed out in comments.

You can "iterate over the values" by actually iterating over the keys with:

var value;
Object.keys(map).forEach(function(key) {
    value = map[key];
    console.log(value);
});

In the sense I think you intended, in ES5 or ES2015, no, not without some work on your part.

In ES2016, probably with object.values.

Mind you Arrays in JavaScript are effectively a map from an integer to a value, and the values in JavaScript arrays can be enumerated directly.

['foo', 'bar'].forEach(v => console.log(v)); // foo bar

Also, in ES2015, you can make an object iterable by placing a function on a property with the name of Symbol.iterator:

var obj = { 
    foo: '1', 
    bar: '2',
    bam: '3',
    bat: '4',
};

obj[Symbol.iterator] = iter.bind(null, obj);

function* iter(o) {
    var keys = Object.keys(o);
    for (var i=0; i<keys.length; i++) {
        yield o[keys[i]];
    }
}

for(var v of obj) { console.log(v); } // '1', '2', '3', '4'

Also, per other answers, there are other built-ins that provide the functionality you want, like Map (but not WeakMap because it is not iterable) and Set for example (but these are not present in all browsers yet).


I iterate like this and it works for me.

for (let [k, v] of myMap) {
    console.log("Key: " + k);
    console.log("Value: " + v);
}

Hope this helps :)
