Object.entries()

The Object.entries() method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property [key, value] pairs, in the same order as that provided by a for...in loop (the difference being that a for-in loop enumerates properties in the prototype chain as well).

Syntax

Object.entries(obj)

Parameters

obj

The object whose enumerable own property [key, value] pairs are to be returned.

Return value

An array of the given object's own enumerable property [key, value] pairs.

Description

Object.entries() returns an array whose elements are arrays corresponding to the enumerable property [key, value] pairs found directly upon object. The ordering of the properties is the same as that given by looping over the property values of the object manually.

Examples

var obj = { foo: "bar", baz: 42 };
console.log(Object.entries(obj)); // [ ['foo', 'bar'], ['baz', 42] ]

// array like object
var obj = { 0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'c' };
console.log(Object.entries(obj)); // [ ['0', 'a'], ['1', 'b'], ['2', 'c'] ]

// array like object with random key ordering
var an_obj = { 100: 'a', 2: 'b', 7: 'c' };
console.log(Object.entries(an_obj)); // [ ['2', 'b'], ['7', 'c'], ['100', 'a'] ]

// getFoo is property which isn't enumerable
var my_obj = Object.create({}, { getFoo: { value: function() { return this.foo; } } });
my_obj.foo = "bar";
console.log(Object.entries(my_obj)); // [ ['foo', 'bar'] ]

// non-object argument will be coerced to an object
console.log(Object.entries("foo")); // [ ['0', 'f'], ['1', 'o'], ['2', 'o'] ]

Converting an Object to a Map

The new Map() constructor accepts an iterable of entries. With Object.entries, you can easily convert from Object to Map:

var obj = { foo: "bar", baz: 42 }; 
var map = new Map(Object.entries(obj));
console.log(map); // Map { foo: "bar", baz: 42 }

Polyfill

To add compatible Object.entries support in older environments that do not natively support it, you can find a Polyfill in the tc39/proposal-object-values-entries or in the es-shims/Object.entries repositories.
