Map over object preserving keys

Question

The map function in underscore.js, if called with a javascript object, returns an array of values mapped from the object\'s values.

_.map({one:          


        

Answer 1

I know this is old, but now Underscore has a new map for objects :

_.mapObject(object, iteratee, [context]) 

You can of course build a flexible map for both arrays and objects

_.fmap = function(arrayOrObject, fn, context){
    if(this.isArray(arrayOrObject))
      return _.map(arrayOrObject, fn, context);
    else
      return _.mapObject(arrayOrObject, fn, context);
}
