The WeakMap()
constructor creates WeakMap
objects.
new WeakMap()
new WeakMap(iterable)
Note: WeakMap()
can only be constructed with new
. Attempting to call it without new
throws a TypeError
.
iterable
An Array
or other iterable object that produces a two-element array-like object whose first element is a value that will be used as a WeakMap
key and whose second element is the value to associate with that key. Each key-value pair will be added to the new WeakMap
. null
is treated as undefined
.
const wm1 = new WeakMap();
const wm2 = new WeakMap();
const wm3 = new WeakMap();
const o1 = {};
const o2 = () => {};
const o3 = window;
wm1.set(o1, 37);
wm1.set(o2, "azerty");
wm2.set(o1, o2); // a value can be anything, including an object or a function
wm2.set(o3, undefined);
wm2.set(wm1, wm2); // keys and values can be any objects. Even WeakMaps!
wm1.get(o2); // "azerty"
wm2.get(o2); // undefined, because there is no key for o2 on wm2
wm2.get(o3); // undefined, because that is the set value
wm1.has(o2); // true
wm2.has(o2); // false
wm2.has(o3); // true (even if the value itself is 'undefined')
wm3.set(o1, 37);
wm3.get(o1); // 37
wm1.has(o1); // true
wm1.delete(o1);
wm1.has(o1); // false
