Why is “forEach not a function” for this object?

Question

This is probably something really dumb, but I don\'t understand why this doesn\'t work.

var a = {\"cat\":\"large\"};

a.forEach(function(value, key, map){

If you really need to use a secure foreach interface to iterate an object and make it reusable and clean with a npm module, then use this, https://www.npmjs.com/package/foreach-object

Ex:

import each from 'foreach-object';
   
const object = {
   firstName: 'Arosha',
   lastName: 'Sum',
   country: 'Australia'
};
   
each(object, (value, key, object) => {
   console.log(key + ': ' + value);
});
   
// Console log output will be:
//      firstName: Arosha
//      lastName: Sum
//      country: Australia
