javascript iterating through array code example

Example 1: javascript loop through array

var data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

// traditional for loop
for(let i=0; i<=data.length; i++) {
  console.log(data[i])  // 1 2 3 4 5 6
}

// using for...of
for(let i of data) {
	console.log(i) // 1 2 3 4 5 6
}

// using for...in
for(let i in data) {
  	console.log(i) // Prints indices for array elements
	console.log(data[i]) // 1 2 3 4 5 6
}

// using forEach
data.forEach((i) => {
  console.log(i) // 1 2 3 4 5 6
})
// NOTE ->  forEach method is about 95% slower than the traditional for loop

// using map
data.map((i) => {
  console.log(i) // 1 2 3 4 5 6
})

Example 2: loop through array javascript

/* ES6 */
const cities = ["Chicago", "New York", "Los Angeles"];
cities.map(city => {
	console.log(city)
})

Example 3: iterate through array js

let arbitraryArr = [1, 2, 3];
// below I choose let, but var and const can also be used 
for (let arbitraryElementName of arbitraryArr) {
  console.log(arbitraryElementName);
}

Example 4: iterate through array javascript

for (var key in validation_messages) {
    // skip loop if the property is from prototype
    if (!validation_messages.hasOwnProperty(key)) continue;

    var obj = validation_messages[key];
    for (var prop in obj) {
        // skip loop if the property is from prototype
        if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) continue;

        // your code
        alert(prop + " = " + obj[prop]);
    }
}
