Set.prototype.entries() - JavaScript | MDN (original) (raw)

Baseline

Widely available

The entries() method of Set instances returns a new set iterator object that contains an array of [value, value] for each element in this set, in insertion order. For Set objects there is no key like in Map objects. However, to keep the API similar to the Map object, each entry has the same value for its key and value here, so that an array [value, value] is returned.

Try it

const set1 = new Set();
set1.add(42);
set1.add("forty two");

const iterator1 = set1.entries();

for (const entry of iterator1) {
  console.log(entry);
  // Expected output: Array [42, 42]
  // Expected output: Array ["forty two", "forty two"]
}

Syntax

Parameters

None.

Return value

Examples

Using entries()

const mySet = new Set();
mySet.add("foobar");
mySet.add(1);
mySet.add("baz");

const setIter = mySet.entries();

console.log(setIter.next().value); // ["foobar", "foobar"]
console.log(setIter.next().value); // [1, 1]
console.log(setIter.next().value); // ["baz", "baz"]
