Map methods

# Michał Wadas (6 years ago)

With Set methods being discussed on next TC39 I would like to write second proposal - Map methods.

Currently I thought about:

Map.prototype.filter(cb, thisArg) Map.prototype.mapValues(cb, thisArg) Map.prototype.mapKeys(cb, thisArg) Map.prototype.merge(iterable: Iterable.<Tuple.<*, *>>)

Map.groupBy(iterable, keyDerivativeFunc) - analogus to lodash.groupBy lodash.com/docs/4.17.4#groupBy, but returning Map Instance.

Map.keyBy(iterable, keyDerivativeFunc) - analogous to lodash.keyBy, but returning Map instance.

I spend few minutes on writing code for simple polyfill - Ginden/map-methods/blob/master/polyfill.js and I'm gathering opinions what would be expected final shape of Map API.

I totally agree that Map (and Set) should have .map, .filter and a few more (.slice, ..) methods, similarly to immutableJS. Since Maps and Sets are ordered, it would make sense

example polyfill:

class SortableMap {
  constructor(data) {
    this.m = new Map(Array.isArray(data) ? data : Object.entries(data));
  }
  set(k, v) {
    this.m.set(k, v);
    return this;
  }
  get(k) {
    return this.m.get(k);
  }
  forEach(fn) {
    this.m.forEach(fn);
  }
  map(fn) {
    return Array.from(this.m, fn);
  }
  sort(fn) {
    const a = [...this.m].sort((x, y) => fn(x[1], y[1])); // sort with values

    this.m = new SortableMap(a);
    return this;
  }
  *[Symbol.iterator]() {
    yield* this.m;
  }
}
const m = new SortableMap([["lol", "far"], ["ok", "boo"]]);
m.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b));
console.log(1, m);
// 1 SortableMap { m: SortableMap { m: Map { 'ok' => 'boo', 'lol' => 'far'
m.set("bip", "cri");
console.log(2, m.map());
// 2 [ [ 'ok', 'boo' ], [ 'lol', 'far' ], [ 'bip', 'cri' ] ]
m.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b));
console.log(3, m.map(([k, v]) => [k, v + "!"]));
// 3 [ [ 'ok', 'boo!' ], [ 'bip', 'cri!' ], [ 'lol', 'far!' ] ]
