map objects javascript code example

Example 1: map object es6

var myObject = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 };

Object.keys(myObject).map(function(key, index) {
  myObject[key] *= 2;
});

console.log(myObject);
// => { 'a': 2, 'b': 4, 'c': 6 }

Example 2: javascript map

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 3: map in javascript

let myMap = new Map()

let keyString = 'a string'
let keyObj    = {}
// setting the values
myMap.set(keyString, "value associated with 'a string'")
myMap.set(keyObj, 'value associated with keyObj')
myMap.set(keyFunc, 'value associated with keyFunc')
myMap.size              // 3
// getting the values
myMap.get(keyString)    // "value associated with 'a string'"
myMap.get(keyObj)       // "value associated with keyObj"
myMap.get(keyFunc)      // "value associated with keyFunc"

Example 4: map object

let myMap = new Map()

let keyString = 'a string'
let keyObj    = {}
let keyFunc   = function() {}

// setting the values
myMap.set(keyString, "value associated with 'a string'")
myMap.set(keyObj, 'value associated with keyObj')
myMap.set(keyFunc, 'value associated with keyFunc')

myMap.size              // 3

// getting the values
myMap.get(keyString)    // "value associated with 'a string'"
myMap.get(keyObj)       // "value associated with keyObj"
myMap.get(keyFunc)      // "value associated with keyFunc"

myMap.get('a string')    // "value associated with 'a string'"
                         // because keyString === 'a string'
myMap.get({})            // undefined, because keyObj !== {}
myMap.get(function() {}) // undefined, because keyFunc !== function () {}
