JavaScript .values()

The Object.values() method returns an array containing the values of an object’s own enumerable properties. This method is useful when only the values are needed, not the keys.

Syntax

Object.values(obj)

Parameters:

• obj: The object whose own enumerable property values needs to be retrieved.

Return value:

• An array of the object’s own enumerable property values, ordered by integer keys first (ascending), then string keys in insertion order.

Example 1: Basic usage of Object.values()

In this example, Object.values() creates an array of property values from an object:

const teamA = {
  firstName: 'Liany',
  animal: 'cat',
  age: 30,
};

const values = Object.values(teamA);
console.log(values);

Example 2: Iterating over values

In this example, Object.values() is used with a for...of loop to iterate through numeric values in an object:

const scores = { teamLiany: 100, teamWife: 106, teamPrincess: 142 };

for (const value of Object.values(scores)) {
  console.log(value);
}
