Set.prototype.entries()

The entries() method of Set instances returns a new set iterator object that contains an array of [value, value] for each element in this set, in insertion order. For Set objects there is no key like in Map objects. However, to keep the API similar to the Map object, each entry has the same value for its key and value here, so that an array [value, value] is returned.

const set = new Set();
set.add(42);
set.add("forty two");

const iterator = set.entries();

for (const entry of iterator) {
  console.log(entry);
  // Expected output: Array [42, 42]
  // Expected output: Array ["forty two", "forty two"]
}

Syntax

entries()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A new iterable iterator object.

Examples

Using entries()

const mySet = new Set();
mySet.add("foobar");
mySet.add(1);
mySet.add("baz");

const setIter = mySet.entries();

console.log(setIter.next().value); // ["foobar", "foobar"]
console.log(setIter.next().value); // [1, 1]
console.log(setIter.next().value); // ["baz", "baz"]
