Is there an elegant way to access the first property of an object...
for .. in
or jQuery's $.each
For example, I need to access foo1
object without knowing the name of foo1:
var example = {
foo1: { /* stuff1 */},
foo2: { /* stuff2 */},
foo3: { /* stuff3 */}
};
var obj = { first: 'someVal' };
obj[Object.keys(obj)[0]]; //returns 'someVal'
Object.values(obj)[0]; // returns 'someVal'
Using this you can access also other properties by indexes. Be aware tho! Object.keys
or Object.values
return order is not guaranteed as per ECMAScript however unofficially it is by all major browsers implementations, please read https://stackoverflow.com/a/23202095 for details on this.
