24 Keyed Collections

24.1 Map Objects

Maps are collections of key/value pairs where both the keys and values may be arbitrary ECMAScript language values. A distinct key value may only occur in one key/value pair within the Map's collection. Distinct key values are discriminated using the semantics of the SameValueZero comparison algorithm.

Maps must be implemented using either hash tables or other mechanisms that, on average, provide access times that are sublinear on the number of elements in the collection. The data structure used in this specification is only intended to describe the required observable semantics of Maps. It is not intended to be a viable implementation model.

24.1.1 The Map Constructor

The Map constructor:

  • is %Map%.
  • is the initial value of the "Map" property of the global object.
  • creates and initializes a new Map when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value in an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified Map behaviour must include a super call to the Map constructor to create and initialize the subclass instance with the internal state necessary to support the Map.prototype built-in methods.

24.1.1.1 Map ( [ iterable ] )

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. If NewTarget is undefined, throw a TypeError exception.
  2. Let map be ? OrdinaryCreateFromConstructor(NewTarget, "%Map.prototype%", « [[MapData]] »).
  3. Set map.[[MapData]] to a new empty List.
  4. If iterable is either undefined or null, return map.
  5. Let adder be ? Get(map, "set").
  6. If IsCallable(adder) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  7. Return ? AddEntriesFromIterable(map, iterable, adder).
 Note

If the parameter iterable is present, it is expected to be an object that implements a %Symbol.iterator% method that returns an iterator object that produces a two element array-like object whose first element is a value that will be used as a Map key and whose second element is the value to associate with that key.

24.1.1.2 AddEntriesFromIterable ( target, iterable, adder )

The abstract operation AddEntriesFromIterable takes arguments target (an Object), iterable (an ECMAScript language value, but not undefined or null), and adder (a function object) and returns either a normal completion containing an ECMAScript language value or a throw completion. adder will be invoked, with target as the receiver. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let iteratorRecord be ? GetIterator(iterable, sync).
  2. Repeat,
    1. Let next be ? IteratorStepValue(iteratorRecord).
    2. If next is done, return target.
    3. If next is not an Object, then
      1. Let error be ThrowCompletion(a newly created TypeError object).
      2. Return ? IteratorClose(iteratorRecord, error).
    4. Let k be Completion(Get(next, "0")).
    5. IfAbruptCloseIterator(k, iteratorRecord).
    6. Let v be Completion(Get(next, "1")).
    7. IfAbruptCloseIterator(v, iteratorRecord).
    8. Let status be Completion(Call(adder, target, « k, v »)).
    9. IfAbruptCloseIterator(status, iteratorRecord).
 Note

The parameter iterable is expected to be an object that implements a %Symbol.iterator% method that returns an iterator object that produces a two element array-like object whose first element is a value that will be used as a Map key and whose second element is the value to associate with that key.

24.1.2 Properties of the Map Constructor

The Map constructor:

  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Function.prototype%.
  • has the following properties:

24.1.2.1 Map.groupBy ( items, callback )

Note

callback should be a function that accepts two arguments. groupBy calls callback once for each element in items, in ascending order, and constructs a new Map. Each value returned by callback is used as a key in the Map. For each such key, the result Map has an entry whose key is that key and whose value is an array containing all the elements for which callback returned that key.

callback is called with two arguments: the value of the element and the index of the element.

The return value of groupBy is a Map.

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let groups be ? GroupBy(items, callback, collection).
  2. Let map be ! Construct(%Map%).
  3. For each Record { [[Key]], [[Elements]] } g of groups, do
    1. Let elements be CreateArrayFromList(g.[[Elements]]).
    2. Let entry be the Record { [[Key]]: g.[[Key]], [[Value]]: elements }.
    3. Append entry to map.[[MapData]].
  4. Return map.

24.1.2.2 Map.prototype

The initial value of Map.prototype is the Map prototype object.

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.

24.1.2.3 get Map [ %Symbol.species% ]

Map[%Symbol.species%] is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined. Its get accessor function performs the following steps when called:

  1. Return the this value.

The value of the "name" property of this function is "get [Symbol.species]".

Note

Methods that create derived collection objects should call %Symbol.species% to determine the constructor to use to create the derived objects. Subclass constructor may over-ride %Symbol.species% to change the default constructor assignment.

24.1.3 Properties of the Map Prototype Object

The Map prototype object:

  • is %Map.prototype%.
  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Object.prototype%.
  • is an ordinary object.
  • does not have a [[MapData]] internal slot.

24.1.3.1 Map.prototype.clear ( )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let M be the this value.
  2. Perform ? RequireInternalSlot(M, [[MapData]]).
  3. For each Record { [[Key]], [[Value]] } p of M.[[MapData]], do
    1. Set p.[[Key]] to empty.
    2. Set p.[[Value]] to empty.
  4. Return undefined.
 Note

The existing [[MapData]] List is preserved because there may be existing Map Iterator objects that are suspended midway through iterating over that List.

24.1.3.2 Map.prototype.constructor

The initial value of Map.prototype.constructor is %Map%.

24.1.3.3 Map.prototype.delete ( key )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let M be the this value.
  2. Perform ? RequireInternalSlot(M, [[MapData]]).
  3. Set key to CanonicalizeKeyedCollectionKey(key).
  4. For each Record { [[Key]], [[Value]] } p of M.[[MapData]], do
    1. If p.[[Key]] is not empty and SameValue(p.[[Key]], key) is true, then
      1. Set p.[[Key]] to empty.
      2. Set p.[[Value]] to empty.
      3. Return true.
  5. Return false.
 Note

The value empty is used as a specification device to indicate that an entry has been deleted. Actual implementations may take other actions such as physically removing the entry from internal data structures.

24.1.3.4 Map.prototype.entries ( )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let M be the this value.
  2. Return ? CreateMapIterator(M, key+value).

24.1.3.5 Map.prototype.forEach ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let entries be M.[[MapData]].

  6. Let index be 0.
  7. Repeat, while index < numEntries,
    1. Let e be entries[index].
    2. Set index to index + 1.
    3. If e.[[Key]] is not empty, then
      1. Perform ? Call(callback, thisArg, « e.[[Value]], e.[[Key]], M »).
      2. NOTE: The number of elements in entries may have increased during execution of callback.
      3. Set numEntries to the number of elements in entries.
  8. Return undefined.
 Note

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments. forEach calls callback once for each key/value pair present in the Map, in key insertion order. callback is called only for keys of the Map which actually exist; it is not called for keys that have been deleted from the Map.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the item, the key of the item, and the Map being traversed.

forEach does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback. Each entry of a map's [[MapData]] is only visited once. New keys added after the call to forEach begins are visited. A key will be revisited if it is deleted after it has been visited and then re-added before the forEach call completes. Keys that are deleted after the call to forEach begins and before being visited are not visited unless the key is added again before the forEach call completes.

  5. Let p be the Record { [[Key]]: key, [[Value]]: value }.
  6. Append p to M.[[MapData]].

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

24.1.4 Properties of Map Instances

Map instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from the Map prototype object. Map instances also have a [[MapData]] internal slot.

24.1.5 Map Iterator Objects

A Map Iterator is an object that represents a specific iteration over some specific Map instance object. There is not a named constructor for Map Iterator objects. Instead, Map Iterator objects are created by calling certain methods of Map instance objects.

 Note

For iteration purposes, a Set appears similar to a Map where each entry has the same value for its key and value.

24.2.4.7 Set.prototype.forEach ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let S be the this value.
  2. Perform ? RequireInternalSlot(S, [[SetData]]).
  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let entries be S.[[SetData]].
  5. Let numEntries be the number of elements in entries.

      1. Perform ? Call(callback, thisArg, « e, e, S »).
      2. NOTE: The number of elements in entries may have increased during execution of callback.
      3. Set numEntries to the number of elements in entries.
  8. Return undefined.
 Note

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments. forEach calls callback once for each value present in the Set object, in value insertion order. callback is called only for values of the Set which actually exist; it is not called for keys that have been deleted from the set.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the first two arguments are a value contained in the Set. The same value is passed for both arguments. The Set object being traversed is passed as the third argument.

The callback is called with three arguments to be consistent with the call back functions used by forEach methods for Map and Array. For Sets, each item value is considered to be both the key and the value.

forEach does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

Each value is normally visited only once. However, a value will be revisited if it is deleted after it has been visited and then re-added before the forEach call completes. Values that are deleted after the call to forEach begins and before being visited are not visited unless the value is added again before the forEach call completes. New values added after the call to forEach begins are visited.

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

24.3 WeakMap Objects

WeakMaps are collections of key/value pairs where the keys are objects and/or symbols and values may be arbitrary ECMAScript language values. A WeakMap may be queried to see if it contains a key/value pair with a specific key, but no mechanism is provided for enumerating the values it holds as keys. In certain conditions, values which are not live are removed as WeakMap keys, as described in 9.9.3.

An implementation may impose an arbitrarily determined latency between the time a key/value pair of a WeakMap becomes inaccessible and the time when the key/value pair is removed from the WeakMap. If this latency was observable to ECMAScript program, it would be a source of indeterminacy that could impact program execution. For that reason, an ECMAScript implementation must not provide any means to observe a key of a WeakMap that does not require the observer to present the observed key.

WeakMaps must be implemented using either hash tables or other mechanisms that, on average, provide access times that are sublinear on the number of key/value pairs in the collection. The data structure used in this specification is only intended to describe the required observable semantics of WeakMaps. It is not intended to be a viable implementation model.

Note

WeakMap and WeakSet are intended to provide mechanisms for dynamically associating state with an object or symbol in a manner that does not “leak” memory resources if, in the absence of the WeakMap or WeakSet instance, the object or symbol otherwise became inaccessible and subject to resource reclamation by the implementation's garbage collection mechanisms. This characteristic can be achieved by using an inverted per-object/symbol mapping of WeakMap or WeakSet instances to keys. Alternatively, each WeakMap or WeakSet instance may internally store its key and value data, but this approach requires coordination between the WeakMap or WeakSet implementation and the garbage collector. The following references describe mechanism that may be useful to implementations of WeakMap and WeakSet:

The WeakMap constructor:

  • is %WeakMap%.
  • is the initial value of the "WeakMap" property of the global object.
  • creates and initializes a new WeakMap when called as a constructor.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value in an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified WeakMap behaviour must include a super call to the WeakMap constructor to create and initialize the subclass instance with the internal state necessary to support the WeakMap.prototype built-in methods.

24.3.1.1 WeakMap ( [ iterable ] )

24.3.4 Properties of WeakMap Instances

WeakMap instances are ordinary objects that inherit properties from the WeakMap prototype object. WeakMap instances also have a [[WeakMapData]] internal slot.

24.4 WeakSet Objects

WeakSets are collections of objects and/or symbols. A distinct object or symbol may only occur once as an element of a WeakSet's collection. A WeakSet may be queried to see if it contains a specific value, but no mechanism is provided for enumerating the values it holds. In certain conditions, values which are not live are removed as WeakSet elements, as described in 9.9.3.

An implementation may impose an arbitrarily determined latency between the time a value contained in a WeakSet becomes inaccessible and the time when the value is removed from the WeakSet. If this latency was observable to ECMAScript program, it would be a source of indeterminacy that could impact program execution. For that reason, an ECMAScript implementation must not provide any means to determine if a WeakSet contains a particular value that does not require the observer to present the observed value.

WeakSets must be implemented using either hash tables or other mechanisms that, on average, provide access times that are sublinear on the number of elements in the collection. The data structure used in this specification is only intended to describe the required observable semantics of WeakSets. It is not intended to be a viable implementation model.
