Observable Maps

observable.map(values, options?)

observable.map(values?) creates a dynamic keyed observable map. Observable maps are very useful if you don't want to react just to the change of a specific entry, but also to the addition or removal of entries. Optionally takes an object, entries array or string keyed ES6 map with initial values.

Using ES6 Map constructor you can initialize observable map using observable(new Map()) or for class properties using the decorator @observable map = new Map().

The following methods are exposed according to the ES6 Map spec:

  • has(key) Returns whether this map has an entry with the provided key. Note that the presence of a key is an observable fact in itself.
  • set(key, value). Sets the given key to value. The provided key will be added to the map if it didn't exist yet.
  • delete(key). Deletes the given key and its value from the map.
  • get(key). Returns the value at the given key (or undefined).
  • keys(). Returns an iterator over all keys present in this map. Insertion order is preserved.
  • values(). Returns an iterator over all values present in this map. Insertion order is preserved.
  • entries(). Returns an iterator (insertion ordered) over array that for each key/value pair in the map contains an array [key, value].
  • forEach(callback:(value, key, map) => void, thisArg?). Invokes the given callback for each key / value pair in the map.
  • clear(). Removes all entries from this map.
  • size. Returns the amount of entries in this map.

The following functions are not in the ES6 spec but are available in MobX:

  • toJS(). Converts the observable map back to an normal Map.
  • toJSON(). Returns a shallow plain object representation of this map. (For a deep copy use mobx.toJS(map)).
  • intercept(interceptor). Registers an interceptor that will be triggered before any changes are applied to the map. See observe & intercept.
  • observe(listener, fireImmediately?). Registers a listener that fires upon each change in this map, similarly to the events that are emitted for Object.observe. See observe & intercept for more details.
  • merge(values). Copies all entries from the provided object into this map. values can be a plain object, array of entries or string-keyed ES6 Map.
  • replace(values). Replaces the entire contents of this map with the provided values.

observable.map(values, { deep: false })

Any values assigned to an observable map will be default passed through observable to make them observable. Create a shallow map to disable this behavior and store are values as-is. See also decorators for more details on this mechanism.

observable.map(values, { name: "my map" })

The name option can be used to give the map a friendly debug name, to be used in for example spy or the MobX dev tools.
