.map nodejs code example

Example 1: 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 2: map javascript

var numbers = [1, 4, 9];
var doubles = numbers.map(function(num) {
  return num * 2;
});
// doubles is now [2, 8, 18]. numbers still [1, 4, 9]

Example 3: map in javascript

// Use map to create a new array in memory. Don't use if you're not returning
const arr = [1,2,3,4]

// Get squares of each element
const sqrs = arr.map((num) => num ** 2)
console.log(sqrs)
// [ 1, 4, 9, 16 ]

//Original array untouched
console.log(arr)
// [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Example 4: nodejs map

let wrongMap = new Map()
wrongMap['bla'] = 'blaa'
wrongMap['bla2'] = 'blaaa2'

console.log(wrongMap)  // Map { bla: 'blaa', bla2: 'blaaa2' }

Example 5: 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"
