The Object entries() method
Find out all about the JavaScript entries() method of the Object object
React Masterclass
Launching on November 4th
Introduced in ES2017.
This method returns an array containing all the object own properties, as an array of [key, value] pairs.
Usage:
const person = { name: 'Fred', age: 87 }
Object.entries(person) // [['name', 'Fred'], ['age', 87]]
Object.entries() also works with arrays:
const people = ['Fred', 'Tony']
Object.entries(people) // [['0', 'Fred'], ['1', 'Tony']]
You can use it to count the number of properties an object contains, combined with the length property of the array.
