Reverse mapping an object in JavaScript
Suppose, we have an object like this −
const products = {
"Pineapple":38,
"Apple":110,
"Pear":109
};All the keys are unique in themselves and all the values are unique in themselves.
We are required to write a function that accepts a value and returns its key. Let' say we have created a function findKey().
For example, findKey(110) should return "Apple".
We will approach this problem by first reverse mapping the values to keys and then simply using object notations to find their values.
Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −
Example
The code for this will be −
const products = {
"Pineapple":38,
"Apple":110,
"Pear":109
};
const findKey = (obj, val) => {
const res = {};
Object.keys(obj).map(key => {
res[obj[key]] = key;
});
// if the value is not present in the object
// return false
return res[val] || false;
};
console.log(findKey(products, 110));Output
The output in the console will be −
Apple
