JavaScript map get value by key

A simple example code uses the keys() method and gets all keys of a given object. Use this key into a loop and fetch one by one values using the get() method.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <script >
    const obj = new Map();
    obj.set('0', 'foo');
    obj.set(1, 'bar');

    var itr = obj.keys();

    for(i=0; i<obj.size; i++)  
    {  
      console.log(obj.get(itr.next().value))
    }  
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Output:

]);
