Parameters: It accepts a parameter ‘key’ which is the key of the element which is going to be tested for presence in the object weakmap.

code

<script>
  
   // Creating a WeakMap() object
   const weakmap1 = new WeakMap();
     
   // Creating a key "key1"
   const key1 = {};
     
   // setting element 'gfg' to the key "key1"
   weakmap1.set(key1, 'gfg');
     
   // Testing whether the key is present 
   // in the weakMap() object or not
   document.write(weakmap1.has(key1));
  
</script>

chevron_right






                        filter_none








Output:


        
          
          
          
        

            

true


Code #2:











                                    filter_none




                                    edit

                                    close




                                    play_arrow




                                    link

                                    brightness_4

                                    code
                                




















<script> 


  


   // Creating a WeakMap() object 


   const weakmap1 = new WeakMap(); 


     


   // Creating a key "key1" 


   const key1 = {}; 


     


   // Testing whether the key is present  


   // in the weakMap() object or not 


   document.write(weakmap1.has(key1)); 


  


</script> 



















                        chevron_right







                        filter_none








Output:


false


Here output is false because the key “key1” has not been set at the end of the weakMap object.
