The Object.entries()
method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property [key, value]
pairs, in the same order as that provided by a for...in
loop (the difference being that a for-in loop enumerates properties in the prototype chain as well).
Syntax
Object.entries(obj)
Parameters
-
The object whose enumerable own property
[key, value]
pairs are to be returned.
obj
Description
Object.entries()
returns an array whose elements are arrays corresponding to the enumerable property [key, value]
pairs found directly upon object
. The ordering of the properties is the same as that given by looping over the property values of the object manually.
Examples
var obj = { foo: "bar", baz: 42 };
console.log(Object.entries(obj)); // [ ['foo', 'bar'], ['baz', 42] ]
// array like object
var obj = { 0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c' };
console.log(Object.entries(obj)); // [ ['0', 'a'], ['1', 'b'], ['2', 'c'] ]
// array like object with random key ordering
var an_obj = { 100: 'a', 2: 'b', 7: 'c' };
console.log(Object.entries(an_obj)); // [ ['2', 'b'], ['7', 'c'], ['100', 'a'] ]
// getFoo is property which isn't enumerable
var my_obj = Object.create({}, { getFoo: { value: function() { return this.foo; } } });
my_obj.foo = "bar";
console.log(Object.entries(my_obj)); // [ ['foo', 'bar'] ]
// non-object argument will be coerced to an object
console.log(Object.entries("foo")); // [ ['0', 'f'], ['1', 'o'], ['2', 'o'] ]
Converting an Object
to a Map
The new Map()
constructor accepts an iterable of entries
. With Object.entries
, you can easily convert from Object
to Map
:
var obj = { foo: "bar", baz: 42 };
var map = new Map(Object.entries(obj));
console.log(map); // Map { foo: "bar", baz: 42 }
Polyfill
To add compatible Object.entries
support in older environments that do not natively support it, you can find a Polyfill in the tc39/proposal-object-values-entries or in the es-shims/Object.entriesrepositories.
