How to get the first item from a map with JavaScript?
To get the first item from a map with JavaScript, we can use the next
method.
For instance, we write
const m = new Map();
m.set("key1", {});
m.set("keyN", {});
console.log(m.entries().next().value);
to create the map m
.
Then we get an iterator with the key and value with entries
.
And we call next
to get the first entry.
We get its key value pair from the value
property.
Also, we can get an iterator with the keys with keys
.
console.log(m.keys().next().value);
And, we can get an iterator with the values with values
.
console.log(m.values().next().value);
Conclusion
