# Object.keys, values, entries

## Object.keys, values, entries

* `Object.keys(obj)` – returns an array of keys.
* `Object.values(obj)` – returns an array of values.
* `Object.entries(obj)` – returns an array of `[key, value]` pairs.

|             | Map          | Object                                   |
| ----------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| Call syntax | `map.keys()` | `Object.keys(obj)`, but not `obj.keys()` |
| Returns     | iterable     | “real” Array                             |

```javascript
let user = {
  name: "John",
  age: 30
};

Object.keys(user) = ["name", "age"]
Object.values(user) = ["John", 30]
Object.entries(user) = [ ["name","John"], ["age",30] ]

// loop over values
for (let value of Object.values(user)) {
  alert(value); // John, then 30
}
```

## Object.fromEntries to transform objects

把 object 變成 map 用 `new Map(Object.entries(obj))`。把 map 變成 object 用 `Object.fromEntries([[key1, value1], [key2, value2]])`。

```javascript
let prices = Object.fromEntries([
  ['banana', 1],
  ['orange', 2],
  ['meat', 4]
]);

// now prices = { banana: 1, orange: 2, meat: 4 }

alert(prices.orange); // 2

// loop through array
let prices = {
  banana: 1,
  orange: 2,
  meat: 4,
};
let doublePrices = {};
for(let [product, price] of Object.entries(prices)) {
  doublePrices[product] = price * 2;
}
alert(doublePrices.meat); // 8

// convert to object
let prices = {
  banana: 1,
  orange: 2,
  meat: 4,
};
let doublePrices = Object.fromEntries(
  // convert to array, map, and then fromEntries gives back the object
  Object.entries(prices).map(([key, value]) => [key, value * 2])
);
alert(doublePrices.meat); // 8

// convert map to object
let map = new Map();
map.set('banana', 1);
map.set('orange', 2);
map.set('meat', 4);
let obj = Object.fromEntries(map);
// now obj = { banana: 1, orange: 2, meat: 4 }
alert(obj.orange); // 2
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mistborn.gitbook.io/til-coding/javascript/object.keys-values-entries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
