JavaScript Maps
How to Create a Map
Creating a JavaScript Map by:
- Passing an Array to new Map()
- Creating a Map and using Map.set()
The new Map() Method
Creating a Map by passing an Array to the new Map() constructor:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Creating a Map from an Array:</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.get(“apples”);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output

Creating a Map from an Array:
The set() Method
Adding elements to a Map with the set() method:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Using Map.set():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map();
// Set Map Values
fruits.set(“apples”, 500);
fruits.set(“bananas”, 300);
fruits.set(“oranges”, 200);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.get(“apples”);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Map Objects
Using Map.set():
500
The set() method can also be used to change existing Map values:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Using Map.set():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
fruits.set(“apples”, 200);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.get(“apples”);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Map Objects
Using Map.set():
200
The get() Method
The get() method is used to retrieve the value of a key in a Map:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Using Map.get():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.get(“apples”);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Map Objects
Using Map.get():
500
The size Property
The size property is used to return the number of elements in a Map:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Maps</h2>
<p>Using Map.size:</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.size;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Maps
Using Map.size:
3
The delete() Method
The delete() method is used to remove a Map element:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Maps</h2>
<p>Deleting Map elements:</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
// Delete an Element
fruits.delete(“apples”);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.size;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Maps
Deleting Map elements:
2
The has() Method
The has() method is used to return true if a key exists in a Map:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Maps</h2>
<p>Using Map.has():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = fruits.has(“apples”);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Maps
Using Map.has():
true
The forEach() Method
The forEach() method is used to call a function for each key/value pair in a Map:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Using Map.forEach():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
let text = “”;
fruits.forEach (function(value, key) {
text += key + ‘ = ‘ + value + “<br>”
})
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = text;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Map Objects
Using Map.forEach():
apples = 500bananas = 300
oranges = 200
The entries() Method
The entries() method is used to return an iterator object having the [key, values] in a Map:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Map Objects</h2>
<p>Using Map.entries():</p>
<p id=”demo”></p>
<script>
// Create a Map
const fruits = new Map([
[“apples”, 500],
[“bananas”, 300],
[“oranges”, 200]
]);
let text = “”;
for (const x of fruits.entries()) {
text += x + “<br>”;
}
document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = text;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
JavaScript Map Objects
Using Map.entries():
apples,500bananas,300
Oranges,200
