return value from map function 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
array.map( item => item.id )
array2.map( item => item.toString() )
array2.map( item => item * 3 )
// this will apply a transformation to all elements of an array
// "" item => something "" is the transformation (function)
