map function for objects (instead of arrays)

Question

I have an object:

myObject = { \'a\': 1, \'b\': 2, \'c\': 3 }

I am looking for a native method, similar to Array.prototype.map

Answer 1

you can use map method and forEach on arrays but if you want to use it on Object then you can use it with twist like below:

Using Javascript (ES6)

var obj = { 'a': 2, 'b': 4, 'c': 6 };   
Object.entries(obj).map( v => obj[v[0]] *= v[1] );
console.log(obj); //it will log as {a: 4, b: 16, c: 36}

var obj2 = { 'a': 4, 'b': 8, 'c': 10 };
Object.entries(obj2).forEach( v => obj2[v[0]] *= v[1] );
console.log(obj2); //it will log as {a: 16, b: 64, c: 100}

Using jQuery

var ob = { 'a': 2, 'b': 4, 'c': 6 };
$.map(ob, function (val, key) {
   ob[key] *= val;
});
console.log(ob) //it will log as {a: 4, b: 16, c: 36}

Or you can use other loops also like $.each method as below example:

$.each(ob,function (key, value) {
  ob[key] *= value;
});
console.log(ob) //it will also log as {a: 4, b: 16, c: 36}
