Javascript equivalent of Python's values() dictionary method [duplicate]

Answer 1

Object.values() is available in Firefox 47 and Chrome 51, here's a one-line polyfill for other browsers:

Object.values = Object.values || function(o){return Object.keys(o).map(function(k){return o[k]})};

Answer 2

In javascript, you use for..in to loop the properties of an object.

var mydict = {
    'a': [3,5,6,43,3,6,3,],
    'b': [87,65,3,45,7,8],
    'c': [34,57,8,9,9,2]
 };

for (var key in mydict) {
  console.log(mydict[key]);
}

Answer 3

if you want to get only the values the use the follwing code:

 for(keys in mydict){
   var elements = mydict[keys];
   console.log(elements);
 }

you can get Individual elements by index value in elements array.

Answer 4

You can use for in

mydict = {'a': [3,5,6,43,3,6,3,],
          'b': [87,65,3,45,7,8],
          'c': [34,57,8,9,9,2]};
for (var key in mydict){
    alert(mydict[key]);
}

Updated
I've upvoted Adnan's answer as it was the first. I'm just posting a bit more details if it helps.

The for..in loop is what you are looking for -

var dictionary = {
    id:'value',
    idNext: 'value 2'
}

for (var key in dictionary){
    //key will be -> 'id'
    //dictionary[key] -> 'value'
}

To get all the keys in the dictionary object, you can Object.keys(dictionary)
This means, you can do the same thing in an array loop --

var keys = Object.keys(dictionary);
keys.forEach(function(key){
    console.log(key, dictionary[key]);
});

This proves especially handy when you want to filter keys without writing ugly if..else loops.

keys.filter(function(key){
    //return dictionary[key] % 2 === 0;
    //return !key.match(/regex/)
    // and so on
});

Update - To get all the values in the dictionary, currently there is no other way than to perform a loop. How you do the loop is a matter of choice though. Personally, I prefer

var dictionary = {
    a: [1,2,3, 4],
    b:[5,6,7]
}
var values = Object.keys(dictionary).map(function(key){
    return dictionary[key];
});
//will return [[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7]]

Not trying to say that any of the other answers are wrong, but if you're not opposed to using an external library, underscore.js has a method for precisely this:

_.values({one: 1, two: 2, three: 3});
// returns [1, 2, 3]
