JavaScript WeakSet is used to store a collection of objects. It adapts the same properties as that of a set i.e. does not store duplicates. The major difference between WeakSet and a set is that a WeakSet is a collection of objects and not values of some particular type.

Syntax:

weakSet.function();

Example: In this example we will use the JavaScript weakSet() method.

Javascript




// Constructing a weakSet() object
const A = new WeakSet();
  
// Constructing new objects
const object1 = {};
  
// Adding the new object to the weakSet
A.add(object1);
  
// Checking whether the new object is present
// in the weakSet or not
console.log(A.has(object1));


Output:

true
