How do I loop through or enumerate a JavaScript object

Question

I have a JavaScript object like the following   var p          p1    value1        p2    value2        p3    value3       Now I want to loop through all p elements  p1  p2  p3     And get their keys and values  How can I do that   I can modify the JavaScript object if necessary  My ultimate goal is to loop through some key value pairs and if possible I want to avoid using eval

You can also use Object keys   and iterate over the object keys like below to get the value    x000D   x000D  var p     x000D       p1    value1   x000D       p2    value2   x000D       p3    value3  x000D     x000D   x000D  Object keys p  forEach  key   gt    x000D   console log key    - gt     p key    x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D

In ECMAScript 5 you have new approach in iteration fields of literal - Object keys  More information you can see on MDN  My choice is below as a faster solution in current versions of browsers  Chrome30  IE10  FF25   var keys   Object keys p       len   keys length      i   0      prop      value  while  i  lt  len        prop   keys i       value   p prop       i    1      You can compare performance of this approach with different implementations on jsperf com    Extend Implementations Object keys iteration object literal iteration   Browser support you can see on Kangax s compat table  For old browser you have simple and full polyfill  UPD   performance comparison for all most popular cases in this question on perfjs info   object literal iteration

since ES06 you can get the values of an object as array with  let arrValues   Object values  yourObject      it return the an array of the object values and it not extract values from Prototype    MDN DOCS Object values    and for keys   allready answerd before me here     let arrKeys     Object keys yourObject

Under ECMAScript 5  you can combine Object keys   and Array prototype forEach     var obj     first   John   last   Doe      Object keys obj  forEach function key        console log key  obj key          ECMAScript 6 adds for   of   for  const key of Object keys obj         console log key  obj key        ECMAScript 8 adds Object entries   which avoids having to look up each value in the original object   Object entries obj  forEach        key  value     gt  console log key  value       You can combine for   of  destructuring  and Object entries   for  const  key  value  of Object entries obj         console log key  value       Both Object keys   and Object entries   iterate properties in the same order as a for   in loop but ignore the prototype chain  Only the object s own enumerable properties are iterated

Preface    Object properties can be own  the property is on the object itself  or inherited  not on the object itself  on one of its prototypes   Object properties can be enumerable or non-enumerable  Non-enumerable properties are left out of lots of property enumerations arrays  Property names can be strings or Symbols  Properties whose names are Symbols are left out of lots of property enumerations arrays    Here in 2018  your options for looping through an object s properties are  some examples follow the list     for-in  MDN  spec   mdash  A loop structure that loops through the names of an object s enumerable properties  including inherited ones  whose names are strings Object keys  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the names of an object s own  enumerable properties whose names are strings  Object values  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the values of an object s own  enumerable properties  Object entries  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the names and values of an object s own  enumerable properties  each entry in the array is a  name  value  array   Object getOwnPropertyNames  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the names of an object s own properties  even non-enumerable ones  whose names are strings  Object getOwnPropertySymbols  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the names of an object s own properties  even non-enumerable ones  whose names are Symbols  Reflect ownKeys  MDN  spec   mdash  A function providing an array of the names of an object s own properties  even non-enumerable ones   whether those names are strings or Symbols  If you want all of an object s properties  including non-enumerable inherited ones  you need to use a loop and Object getPrototypeOf  MDN  spec  and use Object getOwnPropertyNames  Object getOwnPropertySymbols  or Reflect ownKeys on each object in the prototype chain  example at the bottom of this answer     With all of them except for-in  you d use some kind of looping construct on the array  for  for-of  forEach  etc     Examples   for-in    x000D   x000D     A prototype object to inherit from  with a

If you want to iterate only over properties use one of the answers above  however if you want to iterate over everything including functions  then you might want to use Object getOwnPropertyNames obj    x000D   x000D  for  let o of Object getOwnPropertyNames Math     x000D    console log o   x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D    I sometimes use this to fast test all functions on objects with simple inputs and outputs

Since ES2015 you can use the for of loop  to access the element directly      before ES2015 for var key of elements     console log elements key           ES2015 for let element of elements     console log element       Hope this helps someone

I had a similar problem when using Angular  here is the solution that I ve found   Step 1  Get all the object keys  using Object keys  This method returns an array of a given object   s own enumerable properties   Step 2  Create an empty array  This is an where all the properties are going to live  since your new ngFor loop is going to point to this array  we gotta catch them all  Step 3  Iterate throw all keys  and push each one into the array you created  Here   s how that looks like in code          Evil response in a variable  Here are all my vehicles  let evilResponse         car                    color     red           model     2013             motorcycle                   color     red           model     2016             bicycle                   color     red           model     2011             Step 1  Get all the object keys  let evilResponseProps   Object keys evilResponse      Step 2  Create an empty array  let goodResponse          Step 3  Iterate throw all keys  for  prop of evilResponseProps         goodResponse push evilResponseProps prop        Here is a link to the original post  https   medium com  papaponmx looping-over-object-properties-with-ngfor-in-angular-869cd7b2ddcc

Considering ES6 I d like to add my own spoon of sugar and provide one more approach to iterate over object s properties   Since plain JS object isn t iterable just out of box  we aren t able to use for  of loop for iterating over its content  But no one can stop us to make it iterable   Let s we have book object   let book       title   Amazing book     author   Me     pages  3    book Symbol iterator    function       let properties   Object keys this      returns an array with property names   let counter   0    let isDone   false     let next        gt        if counter  gt   properties length         isDone   true            return   done  isDone  value  this properties counter              return   next        Since we ve made it we can use it this way   for let pValue of book     console log pValue     ------------------------ Amazing book Me 3   Or if you know the power of ES6 generators  so you certainly can make the code above much shorter   book Symbol iterator    function         let properties   Object keys this     for  let p of properties       yield this p            Sure  you can apply such behavior for all objects with making Object iterable on prototype level   Object prototype Symbol iterator    function           Also  objects that comply with the iterable protocol can be used with the new ES2015 feature spread operator thus we can read object property values as an array   let pValues       book   console log pValues   -------------------------   Amazing book    Me   3    Or you can use destructuring assignment   let  title    pages    book     notice that we can just skip unnecessary values console log title   console log pages   ------------------ Amazing book 3   You can check out JSFiddle with all code I ve provided above

In ES6 we have well-known symbols to expose some previously internal methods  you can use it to define how iterators work for this object   var p          p1    value1        p2    value2        p3    value3         Symbol iterator              yield  Object keys this                 p      p1    p2    p3     this will give the same result as using for   in es6 loop   for var key in p        console log key       But its important to know the capabilities you now have using es6

The question won t be complete if we don t mention about alternative methods for looping through objects   Nowadays many well known JavaScript libraries provide their own methods for iterating over collections  i e  over arrays  objects  and array-like objects  These methods are convenient to use and are entirely compatible with any browser    If you work with jQuery  you may use jQuery each   method  It can be used to seamlessly iterate over both objects and arrays     each obj  function key  value        console log key  value        In Underscore js you can find method   each    which iterates over a list of elements  yielding each in turn to a supplied function  pay attention to the order of arguments in iteratee function       each obj  function value  key        console log key  value        Lo-Dash provides several methods for iterating over object properties  Basic   forEach    or it s alias   each    is useful for looping through both objects and arrays  however     objects with length property are treated like arrays  and to avoid this behavior it is suggested to use   forIn   and   forOwn   methods  these also have value argument coming first      forIn obj  function value  key        console log key  value           forIn   iterates over own and inherited enumerable properties of an object  while   forOwn   iterates only over own properties of an object  basically checking against hasOwnProperty function   For simple objects and object literals any of these methods will work fine    Generally all described methods have the same behaviour with any supplied objects  Besides using native for  in loop will usually be faster than any abstraction  such as jQuery each    these methods are considerably easier to use  require less coding and provide better error handling

A good way for looping on an enumerable JavaScript object which could be awesome and common for ReactJS is using Object keys or Object entries with using map function  like below      assume items   const items       first    name   phone   price  400      second    name   tv   price  300      third    name   sofa   price  250         For looping and show some UI on ReactJS act like below        lt div gt     Object entries items  map   key     name  price        gt         lt div key  key  gt        lt span gt name   name  lt  span gt        lt span gt price   price  lt  span gt       lt  div gt         lt  div gt    Actually  I use the destructuring assignment twice  once for getting key once for getting name and price

If you want to iterate over non-enumerable properties as well  you can use Object getOwnPropertyNames obj  to return an array of all properties  enumerable or not  found directly upon a given object    x000D   x000D  var obj   Object create       x000D       non-enumerable property x000D    getFoo    x000D      value  function     return this foo     x000D      enumerable  false x000D      x000D      x000D   x000D  obj foo   1     enumerable property x000D   x000D  Object getOwnPropertyNames obj  forEach function  name    x000D    document write name          obj name      lt br  gt     x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D

Loops can be pretty interesting when using pure JavaScript  It seems that only ECMA6  New 2015 JavaScript specification  got the loops under control  Unfortunately as I m writing this  both Browsers and popular Integrated development environment  IDE  are still struggling to support completely the new bells and whistles   At a glance here is what a JavaScript object loop look like before ECMA6   for  var key in object      if  p hasOwnProperty key         var value   object key       console log key      This is the key      console log value      This is the value          Also  I know this is out of scope with this question but in 2011  ECMAScript 5 1 added the forEach method for Arrays only which basically created a new improved way to loop through arrays while still leaving non iterable objects with the old verbose and confusing for loop  But the odd part is that this new forEach method does not support break which led to all sorts of other problems   Basically in 2011  there is not a real solid way to loop in JavaScript other than what many popular libraries  jQuery  Underscore  etc   decided to re-implement   As of 2015  we now have a better out of the box way to loop  and break  any object type  including Arrays and Strings   Here is what a loop in JavaScript will eventually look like when the recommendation becomes mainstream   for  let  key  value  of Object entries object         console log key      This is the key      console log value      This is the value      Note that most browsers won t support the code above as of June 18th 2016  Even in Chrome you need to enable this special flag for it to work  chrome   flags  enable-javascript-harmony  Until this becomes the new standard  the old method can still be used but there are also alternatives in popular libraries or even lightweight alternatives for those who aren t using any of these libraries

You can use the for-in loop as shown by others  However  you also have to make sure that the key you get is an actual property of an object  and doesn t come from the prototype   Here is the snippet   x000D   x000D  var p     x000D       p1    value1   x000D       p2    value2   x000D       p3    value3  x000D     x000D   x000D  for  var key in p    x000D      if  p hasOwnProperty key     x000D          console log key     - gt      p key    x000D        x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D    For-of with Object keys   alternative    x000D   x000D  var p     x000D      0   value1   x000D       b    value2   x000D      key   value3  x000D     x000D   x000D  for  var key of Object keys p     x000D      console log key     - gt      p key   x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D    Notice the use of for-of instead of for-in  if not used it will return undefined on named properties  and Object keys   ensures the use of only the object s own properties without the whole prototype-chain properties  Using the new Object entries   method   Note  This method is not supported natively by Internet Explorer  You may consider using a Polyfill for older browsers   const p          p1    value1        p2    value2        p3    value3      for  let  key  value  of Object entries p       console log    key     value

You have to use the for-in loop  But be very careful when using this kind of loop  because this will loop all the properties along the prototype chain   Therefore  when using for-in loops  always make use of the hasOwnProperty method to determine if the current property in iteration is really a property of the object you re checking on   for  var prop in p        if   p hasOwnProperty prop               The current property is not a direct property of p         continue              Do your logic with the property here
