JavaScript Sets

A JavaScript Set is a collection of unique values.

Each value can only occur once in a Set.

Essential Set Methods

MethodDescription
new Set()Creates a new Set
add()Adds a new element to the Set
delete()Removes an element from a Set
has()Returns true if a value exists in the Set
forEach()Invokes a callback for each element in the Set
values()Returns an iterator with all the values in a Set
PropertyDescription
sizeReturns the number of elements in a Set

How to Create a Set

You can create a JavaScript Set by:

  • Passing an Array to new Set()
  • Create a new Set and use add() to add values
  • Create a new Set and use add() to add variables

The new Set() Method

Pass an Array to the new Set() constructor:

Example

// Create a Set
const letters = new Set(["a","b","c"]);
Try it Yourself »

Create a Set and add values:

Example

// Create a Set
const letters = new Set();

// Add Values to the Set
letters.add("a");
letters.add("b");
letters.add("c");
Try it Yourself »

Create a Set and add variables:

Example

// Create a Set
const letters = new Set();

// Create Variables
const a = "a";
const b = "b";
const c = "c";

// Add Variables to the Set
letters.add(a);
letters.add(b);
letters.add(c);
Try it Yourself »

The add() Method

Example

letters.add("d");
letters.add("e");
Try it Yourself »

If you add equal elements, only the first will be saved:

Example

letters.add("a");
letters.add("b");
letters.add("c");
letters.add("c");
letters.add("c");
letters.add("c");
letters.add("c");
letters.add("c");
Try it Yourself »

The forEach() Method

The forEach() method invokes (calls) a function for each Set element:

Example

// Create a Set
const letters = new Set(["a","b","c"]);

// List all Elements
let text = "";
letters.forEach (function(value) {
  text += value;
})
Try it Yourself »

The values() Method

The values() method returns a new iterator object containing all the values in a Set:

Example

letters.values()   // Returns [object Set Iterator]
Try it Yourself »

Now you can use the Iterator object to access the elements:

Example

// List all Elements
let text = "";
for (const x of letters.values()) {
  text += x;
}
