This is an experimental technology, part of the ECMAScript 6 (Harmony) proposal.
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future version of browsers as the spec changes.
Summary
The keys() method returns a new Array Iterator object that contains the keys for each index in the array.
Syntax
arr.keys()Examples
Example: Iteration using for...of loop
var arr = new Uint8Array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50]);
var eArray = arr.keys();
// your browser must support for..of loop
// and let-scoped variables in for loops
for (let n of eArray) {
console.log(n);
}
Example: Alternative iteration
var arr = new Uint8Array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50]); var eArr = arr.keys(); console.log(eArr.next().value); // 0 console.log(eArr.next().value); // 1 console.log(eArr.next().value); // 2 console.log(eArr.next().value); // 3 console.log(eArr.next().value); // 4
