map() in javascript es6 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']

  { id: 1, title: "Sample Title 1", 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+

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 }));
