How to convert Map keys to an array in JavaScript ?

In this article, we are given a Map and the task is to get the keys of the map into an array using JavaScript. We can access the keys by using the Map keys() method.

We have a few methods to do this that are described below:

 Approach 1: Using array.from() Method

  • Declare a new map object
  • Display the map content
  • Use the keys() method on Map Object to get the keys of Map.
  • Then use the array.from() method to convert a map object to an array.

Example 1: This example uses an array.from() method to get the keys of the Map in the array. 

Javascript




let myMap = new Map().set('GFG', 1).set('Geeks', 2);
let array = Array.from(myMap.keys());
 
//Return the length of array
console.log(array.length);


Output

2

Approach 2: Using [ …Map.keys() ] Method

  • Declare a new map object
  • Display the map content
  • Use the [ …myMap.keys() ] method on Map Object to get the keys of Map as an array.

Example 2: This example uses the [ …Map.keys() ] method to get the keys of the Map in the array. 

Javascript




let myMap = new Map().set('GFG', 1).set('Geeks', 2);
let array = [...myMap.keys()];
 
//return the length of array
console.log(array.length);


Output

2

Approach 3: Using for…of Loop Method

  • Create an empty array
  • By using the for…of Loop, we can iterate over the keys
  • At each iteration, we can push the key into an array.

Example:

Javascript




let myMap = new Map().set('GFG', 1).set('Geeks', 2).set('Geeksforneveropen',3);
let arr =[];
for (let key of myMap.keys()) {
    arr.push(key);
}
console.log(arr);


Output

[ 'GFG', 'Geeks', 'Geeksforneveropen' ]

Approach 4: Using Map.forEach() Method

  • Create an empty array
  • Use Map.forEach() method for iterating over the loop
  • then push the keys into an array

Example:

Javascript




let myMap = new Map().set('GFG', 1)
                      .set('Geeks', 2)
                      .set('Geeksforneveropen', 3);
let arr = [];
myMap.forEach((values, keys) => {
    arr.push(keys);
});
console.log(arr);


Output

[ 'GFG', 'Geeks', 'Geeksforneveropen' ]
