/* Answer to: "javascript map function" */
/*
<Array>.map() - One of the most useful in-built methods in JavaScript (imo).
The map() method creates a new array populated with the results of calling
a provided function on every element in the calling array.
For more information, click on the source link.
Let me make some examples of it's uses:
*/
let array = [1, 4, 9, 16];
array.map(num => num * 2); // [2, 8, 18, 32];
array.map(pounds => `£${pounds}.00`); // ["£1.00", "£4.00", "£9.00", "£16.00"];
array.map(item => Math.sqrt(item)); // [1, 2, 3, 4];
var arr = [
{ key: 'foo', val: 'bar' },
{ key: 'hello', val: 'world' }
];
var result = new Map(arr.map(i => [i.key, i.val]));
// When using TypeScript, need to specify type:
// var result = arr.map((i): [string, string] => [i.key, i.val])
// Unfortunately maps don't stringify well. This is the contents in array form.
console.log("Result is: " + JSON.stringify([...result]));
// Map {"foo" => "bar", "hello" => "world"}
Run code snippet
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
let filteredNumbers = numbers.map(function(_, index) {
if (index < 3) {
return num
}
})
// index goes from 0, so the filterNumbers are 1,2,3 and undefined.
// filteredNumbers is [1, 2, 3, undefined]
// numbers is still [1, 2, 3, 4]
// Map objects are collections of key-value pairs.
// A key in the Map may only occur once, it is unique in the Map 's collection
let map = new Map()
let keyArray = 'Array'
map.set(keyArray, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
map.get(keyArray) // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
// make new array from edited items of another array
var newArray = unchangedArray.map(function(item, index){
return item; // do something to returned item
});
// same in ES6 style (IE not supported)
var newArray2 = unchangedArray.map((item, index) => item);
let arr = [1,2,3]
/*
map accepts a callback function, and each value of arr is passed to the
callback function. You define the callback function as you would a regular
function, you're just doing it inside the map function
map applies the code in the callback function to each value of arr,
and creates a new array based on your callback functions return values
