javascrip Map 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 array transform

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 3: 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 4: 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 5: map javascript

function each(collection, action) {
  if (Array.isArray(collection)) {
    for (var i = 0; i < collection.length; i++) {
      action(collection[i], i, collection);
    }
  } else {
    for (var key in collection) {
      action(collection[key], key, collection);
    }
  }
}

Example 6: map in javascript

['elem', 'another', 'name'].map((value, index, originalArray) => { 
  console.log(.....)
});
