About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Invert an object, such that keys become values and values become keys.
npm install @stdlib/utils-object-inverseAlternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var invert = require( '@stdlib/utils-object-inverse' );Inverts an object, such that keys become values and values become keys.
var out = invert({
'a': 'beep',
'b': 'boop'
});
// returns { 'beep': 'a', 'boop': 'b' }The function accepts the following options:
- duplicates:
booleanindicating whether to store keys mapped to duplicate values inarrays. Default:true.
By default, keys mapped to duplicate values are stored in arrays.
var out = invert({
'a': 'beep',
'b': 'beep'
});
// returns { 'beep': [ 'a', 'b' ] }To not allow duplicates, set the duplicates option to false. The output key-value pair will be the key most recently inserted into the input object.
var obj = {};
obj.a = 'beep';
obj.b = 'boop';
obj.c = 'beep'; // inserted after `a`
var out = invert( obj, {
'duplicates': false
});
// returns { 'beep': 'c', 'boop': 'b' }-
Beware when providing
objectshaving values which are themselvesobjects. This implementation relies on nativeobjectserialization (#toString) when converting values to keys.var obj = { 'a': [ 1, 2, 3 ], 'b': { 'c': 'd' } }; var out = invert( obj ); // returns { '1,2,3': 'a', '[object Object]': 'b' }
-
Insertion order is not guaranteed, as
objectkey enumeration is not specified according to the ECMAScript specification. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort anobject's keys, thus allowing for deterministic inversion.

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
