map function for objects (instead of arrays)

Question

I have an object:

myObject = { \'a\': 1, \'b\': 2, \'c\': 3 }

I am looking for a native method, similar to Array.prototype.map

Answer 1

var myObject = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 };


Object.prototype.map = function(fn){
    var oReturn = {};
    for (sCurObjectPropertyName in this) {
        oReturn[sCurObjectPropertyName] = fn(this[sCurObjectPropertyName], sCurObjectPropertyName);
    }
    return oReturn;
}
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype,'map',{enumerable:false});





newObject = myObject.map(function (value, label) {
    return value * value;
});


// newObject is now { 'a': 1, 'b': 4, 'c': 9 }
