JavaScript weakMap has() Method

The Javascript weakMap.has() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript that is used to return a boolean value which indicates whether an element with a particular key is present in the weakmap object or not. 

Syntax:

weakMap.has(key);

Parameters: It accepts a parameter 'key' which is the key of the element which is going to be tested for presence in the object weakmap. 

Return values: It returns true if the element with the specified key is present in the weakmap object otherwise it returns false.

Below are examples of weakMap.has() method.

Example 1: Below is a basic example of weakmap.has() method that returns true.

function gfg() {  const weakmap = new WeakMap();  const key = {};  weakmap.set(key, 'gfg');  console.log(weakmap.has(key)); } gfg(); 

true

Example 2: Here the output is false because the key "key1" has not been set at the end of the weakMap object. 

// Creating a WeakMap() object const weakmap1 = new WeakMap(); // Creating a key "key1" const key1 = {}; // Testing whether the key is present // in the weakMap() object or not console.log(weakmap1.has(key1));
