The .size property returns the number of entries inside of a Map object.
Syntax
map.size;
Since .size is a property of Map, no parentheses are needed.
Example
Assuming there is a map of fruits, the number of keys can be checked with the .size property:
const fruits = new Map([['Apples', 5],['Oranges', 8],]);console.log(fruits.size); // Output: 2
Codebyte Example
The following example uses the size property to confirm the number of elements in a map after deleting a key-value pair.
