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: how to use the map method in javascript
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const bigNumbers = numbers.map(number => {
return number * 10;
});
Example 5: javascript map array
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]
