hasValue (for Maps)

Checks if a Map contains a specific value.

const exists = hasValue(map, searchElement);

INFO

This function is available exclusively from es-toolkit/map to avoid potential conflicts with similar functions for other collection types.

Usage

hasValue(map, searchElement)

Use hasValue when you want to check if a Map contains a specific value. This function uses SameValueZero comparison (similar to Array.prototype.includes), which means that NaN is considered equal to NaN.

import { hasValue } from 'es-toolkit/map';

const map = new Map([
  ['a', 1],
  ['b', 2],
  ['c', 3],
]);

const result = hasValue(map, 2);
// Result: true

const result2 = hasValue(map, 5);
// Result: false

You can search for various value types.

import { hasValue } from 'es-toolkit/map';

// Search for NaN (using SameValueZero comparison)
const numbers = new Map([
  ['a', 1],
  ['b', NaN],
  ['c', 3],
]);

const hasNaN = hasValue(numbers, NaN);
// Result: true

// Search for objects (reference equality)
const obj = { id: 1 };
const objects = new Map([
  ['first', obj],
  ['second', { id: 2 }],
]);

const hasObj = hasValue(objects, obj);
// Result: true

const hasSimilar = hasValue(objects, { id: 1 });
// Result: false (different reference)

Parameters

• map (Map<K, V>): The Map to search.
• searchElement (V): The value to search for.

Returns

(boolean): true if the Map contains the value, false otherwise.
