Getting the object s property name

Question

I was wondering if there was any way in JavaScript to loop through an object like so   for var i in myObject                   But get the name of each property like this   for var i in myObject        separateObj myObject i  name    myObject i       I can t seem to find anything like it on Google  They say to pass the names of the variables with them but this is not an option for what I am trying to achieve   Thanks for any help you can offer

Disclaimer  I misunderstood the question to be   Can I know the property name that an object was attached to   but chose to leave the answer since some people may end up here while searching for that     No  an object could be attached to multiple properties  so it has no way of knowing its name   var obj    a 1   var a    x  obj  y  obj    What would obj s name be   Are you sure you don t just want the property name from the for loop   for  var propName in obj      console log  Iterating through prop with name   propName    its value is    obj propName

you can easily iterate in objects   eg  if the object is  var a    a  apple   b  ball   c  cat   d  doll   e  elephant     Object keys a  forEach key   gt       console log key     returns the keys in an object    console log a key       returns the appropriate value

When you do the for in loop you put up first  i is the property name  So you have the property name  i  and access the value by doing myObject i

IN ES5  E G  you have this kind of object   var ELEMENTS         STEP ELEMENT    ID   0   imageName   el 0 png         GREEN ELEMENT    ID   1   imageName   el 1 png         BLUE ELEMENT    ID   2   imageName   el 2 png         ORANGE ELEMENT    ID   3   imageName   el 3 png         PURPLE ELEMENT    ID   4   imageName   el 4 png         YELLOW ELEMENT    ID   5   imageName   el 5 png         And now if you want to have a function that if you pass  0  as a param - to get  STEP ELEMENT   if  2  to get  BLUE ELEMENT  and so for  function elementId        var element   null       Object keys ELEMENTS  forEach function key            if ELEMENTS key  ID     elementId toString                 element   key              return                             return element      This is probably not the best solution to the problem but its good to give you an idea how to do it   Cheers

Other than  Object keys  obj     we have very simple  for   in  loop - which loops over enumerable property names of an object    x000D   x000D  const obj     fName   John   lName   Doe    x000D   x000D  for  const key in obj    x000D        This will give key x000D        console log key   x000D        This will give value x000D      console log obj key    x000D       x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D

To get the property of the object or the  array key  or  array index  depending on what your native language is      Use the Object keys   method     Important  this is only compatible with  Modern browsers    So if your object is called  myObject     var c   0  for c in myObject        console log Object keys myObject c         Walla   This will definitely work in the latest firefox and ie11 and chrome     Here is some documentation at MDN https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects Object keys
