Javascript Object.fromEntries()

The syntax of the fromEntries() method is:

Object.fromEntries(iterable)

The fromEntries() method, being a static method, is called using the Object class name.

fromEntries() Parameters

• iterable - An iterable such as Array or Map or other objects implementing the iterable protocol.

Example: Using fromEntries()

// Converting Map to an Object
const map = new Map([
  ["a", 1],
  ["b", 2],
]);
const obj = Object.fromEntries(map);
console.log(obj); // { a: 1, b: 2 }

// Converting Map to an Object
const arr = [
  ["0", "a"],
  ["1", "b"],
  ["2", "c"],
];
const newObj = Object.fromEntries(arr);
console.log(newObj); // { '0': 'a', '1': 'b', '2': 'c' }

Output

{ a: 1, b: 2 }
{ '0': 'a', '1': 'b', '2': 'c' }
