WeakMap.prototype.delete()
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The delete()
method of WeakMap
instances removes the entry specified by the key from this WeakMap
.
Try it
const weakmap = new WeakMap();
const object = {};
weakmap.set(object, 42);
console.log(weakmap.delete(object));
// Expected output: true
console.log(weakmap.has(object));
// Expected output: false
Syntax
js
weakMapInstance.delete(key)
Parameters
Return value
true
if an entry in the WeakMap
object has been removed successfully. false
if the key is not found in the WeakMap
. Always returns false
if key
is not an object or a non-registered symbol.
Examples
>Using delete()
js
const wm = new WeakMap();
wm.set(window, "foo");
wm.delete(window); // Returns true. Successfully removed.
wm.has(window); // Returns false. The window object is no longer in the WeakMap.
