.map in javascript code example

Example 1: javascript map array

const myArray = ['Sam', 'Alice', 'Nick', 'Matt'];

// Appends text to each element of the array
const newArray = myArray.map(name => {
	return 'My name is ' + name; 
});
console.log(newArray); // ['My name is Sam', 'My Name is Alice', ...]

// Appends the index of each element with it's value
const anotherArray = myArray.map((value, index) => index + ": " + value);
console.log(anotherArray); // ['0: Sam', '1: Alice', '2: Nick', ...]

// Starting array is unchanged
console.log(myArray); // ['Sam', 'Alice', 'Nick', 'Matt']

Example 2: javascript map function

const posts = [
  { id: 1, title: "Sample Title 1", description: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..." },
  { id: 2, title: "Sample Title 2", description: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..." },
  { id: 3, title: "Sample Title 3", description: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..." },
];
// ES2016+
// Create new array of post IDs. I.e. [1,2,3]
const postIds = posts.map((post) => post.id);
// Create new array of post objects. I.e. [{ id: 1, title: "Sample Title 1" }]
const postSummaries = posts.map((post) => ({ id: post.id, title: post.title }));

// ES2015
// Create new array of post IDs. I.e. [1,2,3]
var postIds = posts.map(function (post) { return post.id; });
// Create new array of post objects. I.e. [{ id: 1, title: "Sample Title 1" }]
var postSummaries = posts.map(function (post) { return { id: post.id, title: post.title }; });

Example 3: array map javascript

const array1 = [1, 4, 9, 16];

// pass a function to map
const map1 = array1.map(x => x * 2);

console.log(map1);
// expected output: Array [2, 8, 18, 32]

Example 4: javascript map

array.map((item) => {
  return item * 2
} // an example that will map through a a list of items and return a new array with the item multiplied by 2

Example 5: maps in javascript

// Map decalaration in javaScript
const obj1 = { name: 'ismail' };
const obj2 = { name: 'sulman' };
const obj3 = { name: 'naeem' };

firstMap = new Map([
    [
        [obj1, [{ date: 'yesterday', price: '10$' }]], // using object as a key in the map and object inside the array
        [obj2, [{ date: 'today', price: '100$' }]]
    ]
]);
firstMap.set(obj3, [{ date: "yesterday", price: '150$' }]); //pushing the obj to the Map

// iterating the Map
for (const entry of firstMap.entries()) {
    console.log(entry);
};

console.log(firstMap);

firstMap.delete(obj3);
console.log(firstMap);

Example 6: javascript map
