JavaScript: Map.prototype.entries

New in ES2015.

Map.prototype.entries ( )

Returns a iterator function for the map instance (of this binding).

〔►see JavaScript: “this” Binding〕

Map.prototype.entries ( ) is the same as Map.prototype [ Symbol.iterator ]( )

let mp = new Map( [[1,2], [3,4]]);

console.log ( mp.entries ); // [Function: entries]
// result is a function that returns a iterator object

// call it
console.log ( mp.entries() ); // MapIterator { [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] }
// result is a iterator object. (which means, it has a “next” method)

console.log ( mp.entries().next() ); // { value: [ 1, 2 ], done: false }
// result is a IteratorResult object
