I have a bizarre issue happening here. I am retrieving data from a remote source and I need to reformat it for better internal use
The data structure is like the following:
clubs = [
0: {
propA: "blah",
probB: "bar",
events: [
0: {
data1: "foo",
data2: "bar"
}
1: {
data1: "this",
data2: "that"
}
1: {
propA: "hello",
probB: "bye",
events [
0: { ...}
1: {...}
...
...
I am looping through clubs and I want to assign the values of each club into its own events as property clubInfo. When I do that though, clubInfo becomes and endless chain of itself. So I delete the new clubInfo.events - and then everything but the root club[0] gets wiped out. I hope I am being clear, its hard to explain.
If I do this:
for (var i=0; i<clubs.clubs.length;i++) {
var clubInfo = clubs.clubs[i] ;
var events = clubs.clubs[i].events ;
for (var j=0; j<events.length; j++) {
}
}
Then clubs becomes:
clubs [
0: events [
clubInfo [
0: events [
clubInfo [
0: events [
....and goes on seemingly forever
]
]
]
]
]
]
If I do:
for (var i=0; i<clubs.clubs.length;i++) {
var clubInfo = clubs.clubs[i] ;
delete clubInfo.events ;
var events = clubs.clubs[i].events ; // events is now empty
for (var j=0; j<events.length; j++) { // errors here because there is no length after the delete
}
}
Then all that remains of clubs is, in fact none of the other properties that have arrays events or others (several of them) are all gone.:
clubs [
0: {
propA: "blah",
probB: "bar"
}
]
Instead of delete, i have even tried just nulling clubInfo.events = null - but the same issue happens, everything gets wiped out.
Oh boy, you've snagged one of JavaScript's current, and most obvious flaws by effectively using this:
clubs[i].event[j].clubInfo = clubs[i];
You're creating an infinite reference - what do I mean by that? It's better displayed through an Array, if you'll oblige me:
let a=[]; a.push([a]);
This creates an infinite level array through self-reference, creating an incalculable depth. You see, though there's a 32(2^32-1) bit limit to an Array's length. This can be demonstrated easily:
Array(2**32); //Uncaught RangeError: Invalid array length
Presumably this was done to prevent browser memory from shorting but, strangely, there was never any consideration to the depth an array may contain. A minor side effect of this is that there is no depth property, but a major side effect is that there is no protection from an infinite self-referencing array.
Getting Around It
The best way to get around this type of situation is to construct a new Object and assign properties from the old Object to the new. You can think of this as cloning. To do this you can utilize the assign method:
Object.assign(constructor, **Array**/**Object**)
Example:
let a = []; a.push(Object.assign([], a));
Problem solved, right? uhhh... not quite Even though this can sometimes work, this still won't fix the issue of an Array or Object with more than shallow references. To get around that you have to use a combination of:
JSON.stringify(obj);
to break references
JSON.parse(JSON);
to remake your object, and
delete obj[deepReference];
deletion to stop any unforeseen issues with any superfluous data/references
None of this is ideal, but currently there is no way to completely separate all references inside of an object or array without recursive iteration.
To give you an example - In your case you're going to want to do something like this:
for (var i = 0; i < clubs.length; i++) {
var clubInfo = clubs[i];
var events = clubs[i].events;
for (var j = 0; j < events.length; j++) {
let jsonTranslation = Object.assign({}, clubs[i]);
delete jsonTranslation.events;
jsonTranslation = JSON.stringify(jsonTranslation);
clubs[i].events[j].clubInfo = JSON.parse(jsonTranslation);
}
}
let clubs = [{
propA: "blah",
probB: "bar",
events: [{
data1: "foo",
data2: "bar"
},
{
data1: "this",
data2: "that"
}
]
}];
for (var i = 0; i < clubs.length; i++) {
var clubInfo = clubs[i];
var events = clubs[i].events;
for (var j = 0; j < events.length; j++) {
let jsonTranslation = Object.assign({}, clubs[i]);
delete jsonTranslation.events;
jsonTranslation = JSON.stringify(jsonTranslation);
clubs[i].events[j].clubInfo = JSON.parse(jsonTranslation);
}
}
console.log(clubs);
Additional Info: Other watch outs
Similarly there are other issues in the language. A badly implemented Array constructor method. Array(n) returns an Array with n members. Why's that an issue? Everything in JavaScript that is declared and not instantiated is undefined except the members of a freshly constructed array. They return empty. The issue with that is this means they have no mappable values. Ergo, all those sweet new functional ES Array methods are useless until the Array is filled. As an example:
Array(3).map((m, i) => i);
This results in well... the same thing you started with — when clearly it should provide a numbered array from 0-2. This is not as big of a deal as an infinite reference because you can work around it like this:
Array(3).fill(0).map((m,i) => i);
But it's effectively a wasted method call to take care of a problem that should be handled within construction.
Lastly, the fill method — give it an object or an Array and it doesn't create n individual object members. It creates n references to a singular array or object and stuffs them into one array. At base logic, it sort of makes sense. As #FelixKling pointed out in the comments, it is fairly consistent with what you would expect, a.e. fill this array with this one thing. I still would debate a bit about it's functionality for two reasons.
In what situation would anyone need n references stored in an Array to the same place in memory? Probably never. How often do people need an Array of similarly constructed Objects? All the time.
When passing an Object Literal for instance ( .fill({a:1}) )I can see the logic of filling the Array with references, even if it may not be wholly intuitive. If passed a Constructor- I would contest that it might make more sense to instantiate each member individually.
So there are many nuances, and inconsistencies with JavaScript that require knowledge to work around — and sadly, infinite reference, is one of them - but on the plus side the only way to typically realize these issues exist is to run into them headlong, so be thankful it wasn't in production!
Hope this helps! Happy Coding!

I have a data structure that is essentially a linked list stored in state. It represents a stream of changes (patches) to a base object. It is linked by key, rather than by object reference, to allow me to trivially serialise and deserialise the state.
It looks like this:
const latest = 'id4' // They're actually UUIDs, so I can't sort on them (text here for clarity)
const changes = {
id4: {patch: {}, previous: 'id3'},
id3: {patch: {}, previous: 'id2'},
id2: {patch: {}, previous: 'id1'},
id1: {patch: {}, previous: undefined},
}
At some times, a user chooses to run an expensive calculation and results get returned into state. We do not have results corresponding to every change but only some. So results might look like:
const results = {
id3: {performance: 83.6},
id1: {performance: 49.6},
}
Given the changes array, I need to get the results closest to the tip of the changes list, in this case results.id3.
I've written a while loop to do this, and it's perfectly robust at present:
let id = latest
let referenceId = undefined
while (!!id) {
if (!!results[id]) {
referenceId = id
id = undefined
} else {
id = changes[id].previous
}
}
The approach is O(N) but that's the pathological case: I expect a long changelist but with fairly frequent results updates, such that you'd only have to walk back a few steps to find a matching result.
While loops can be vulnerable
Following the great work of Gene Krantz (read his book "Failure is not an option" to understand why NASA never use recursion!) I try to avoid using while loops in code bases: They tend to be susceptible to inadvertent mistakes.
For example, all that would be required to make an infinite loop here is to do delete changes.id1.
So, I'd like to avoid that vulnerability and instead fail to retrieve any result, because not returning a performance value can be handled; but the user's app hanging is REALLY bad!
Other approaches I tried
Sorted array O(N)
To avoid the while loop, I thought about sorting the changes object into an array ordered per the linked list, then simply looping through it.
The problem is that I have to traverse the whole changes list first to get the array in a sorted order, because I don't store an ordering key (it would violate the point of a linked list, because you could no longer do O(1) insert).
It's not a heavy operation, to push an id onto an array, but is still O(N).
The question
Is there a way of traversing this linked list without using a while loop, and without an O(N) approach to convert the linked list into a normal array?
Since you only need to append at the end and possibly remove from the end, the required structure is a stack. In JavaScript the best data structure to implement a stack is an array -- using its push and pop features.
So then you could do things like this:
const changes = [];
function addChange(id, patch) {
changes.push({id, patch});
}
function findRecentMatch(changes, constraints) {
for (let i = changes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
const {id} = changes[i];
if (constraints[id]) return id;
}
}
// Demo
addChange("id1", { data: 10 });
addChange("id2", { data: 20 });
addChange("id3", { data: 30 });
addChange("id4", { data: 40 });
const results = {
id3: {performance: 83.6},
id1: {performance: 49.6},
}
const referenceId = findRecentMatch(changes, results);
console.log(referenceId); // id3
Depending on what you want to do with that referenceId you might want findRecentMatch to return the index in changes instead of the change-id itself. This gives you the possibility to still retrieve the id, but also to clip the changes list to end at that "version" (i.e. as if you popped all the entries up to that point, but then in one operation).
While writing out the question, I realised that rather than avoiding a while-loop entirely, I can add an execution count and an escape hatch which should be sufficient for the purpose.
This solution uses Object.keys() which is strictly O(N) so not technically a correct answer to the question - but it is very fast.
If I needed it faster, I could restructure changes as a map instead of a general object and access changes.size as per this answer
let id = latest
let referenceId = undefined
const maxLoops = Object.keys(changes).length
let loop = 0
while (!!id && loop < maxLoops) {
loop++
if (!!results[id]) {
referenceId = id
id = undefined
} else {
id = changes[id].previous
}
}
While working on building a list of sheet names, I came across this question:
List names of sheets in Google Sheets and skip the first two
Saving you the click, this person's solution is: (Stripped down, pseudo code)
getSheets() // Get all the sheets in spreadsheet workbook
var out = new Array( sheets.length+1 ) ;
for (var i = 1 ; i < sheets.length+1 ; i++ )
out[i] = [sheets[i-1].getName()];
return out
My solution would have leveraged:
...
var sheetName = sheet[i].getName();
out.push(sheetName);
The first solution seems to dynamically create empty array values, then later declare their value. While I have always just pushed new values into the array.
What is the difference?
In which situations is one better than the other?
In which situations should either be avoided?
Your code and the original code do quite different things.
Assuming sheets has objects in it that return the names "sheet1", "sheet2", and "sheet3" from getName, the original code creates an array that looks like this:
[
(missing),
["sheet1"],
["sheet2"],
["sheet3"]
]
Note two things:
There is no entry at index 0. (It literally doesn't exist at all, which is subtly different from existing and containing the value undefined.)
The other entries are single-element arrays, each containing its sheet name.
Your code creates this instead:
[
"sheet1",
"sheet2",
"sheet3"
]
Presumably the author had a reason for skipping index 0 and creating subordinate arrays (I'd guess because they were passing that result array into some API function that expects something in that form).
So there's no really a "better" or "worse" here, just different.
If your fundamental question is whether this:
var original = ["one", "two", "three"];
var updated = [];
for (var i = 0; i < original.length; ++i) {
updated[i] = original[i].toUpperCase(); // Or whatever
}
is better/worse than this:
var original = ["one", "two", "three"];
var updated = [];
for (var i = 0; i < original.length; ++i) {
updated.push(original[i].toUpperCase()); // Or whatever
}
the answer is: It's really a matter of style. Performance isn't markedly different between the two (and rarely matters), and amusingly one way is faster on some JavaScript engines and the other way is faster on others.
Both of those can probably be better expressed using map:
var original = ["one", "two", "three"];
var updated = original.map(function(entry) { return entry.toUpperCase(); });
I think Google Sheets has map, even though it mostly has only ES3-level features otherwise.
Side note: new Array is almost never the right way to create an array.
I'm quite new to coding html/js. I checked answers on here but either can't understand them well enough or they aren't quite what I'm looking for.
The problem is straight forward enough; if I have the following object;
var gadget = {"1":{"id":A, "name":"Rawr"},"2":{"id":B, "name":"GoGoGadget"}"1":{"id":C, "name":"Extendable Arms!"}};
Now, if I wanted to use a forloop (for whatever reason) to extract the names of these objects I would like to try;
var i = 0;
var names = [];
for (i = 0; i < gadget.length; i++) {
names.push(gadget.i.name);
}
I'm not surprised that this doesn't work as the "i" would probably got interpreted as the string "i" here rather than it's numeral. Unfortunately I've tried a few variants that I've found online (like using names.push(gadget[i].name) which also shouldn't work since that suggests gadget is a vector and not an object) but haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work.
Is there somewhere I can find this syntax? Or is this one of those things that seems like it should be easy but js just doesn't really have a nice solution for?
Thanks!
edit:
I didn't mean to suggest I always wanted every entry in the vector, so to clarify my question further, what if I wanted to use a forloop to only find the names of gadget entries given in another object; ie given;
var searchvec = [{"id":1,"count":17},{"id":3,"count":12}];
var i = 0;
var names = [];
for (i = 0; i < searchvec.length; i++) {
index = searchvec.i.id;
names.push(gadget.index.name);
}
I think this is what you are looking for:
var gadget = {"1": {"id": "A", "name": "Rawr"}, "2": {"id": "B", "name": "GoGoGadget"}, "3": {"id": "C", "name": "Extendable Arms!"}};
let names = [];
for (let i in gadget) {
// i is String
names.push(gadget[i].name);
}
for (let i in names) {
// i is int value
console.log(names[i]);
}
Using the for (let x IN o) js takes care for you no matter wether it is an object or an array.
With array, the for loop will cycle through the the array indexes, with x being an int value, and with objects it will cycle through the properties of the object, with x being the property name.
See reference:
MDN
Javascript is a really quirky language and can cause you serious hitches if you are used to more rigorous language. In js an array is actually an object with numbers as keys + some other goodies (such as a push() method) (to see it you may try in a console: typeof []))
P.S. this means you can actually access object properties with obj[key] being key a variable, even null-valued.
You can do something like below:
var names = [];
for (let [key,value] of Object.entries(gadgets)){
names.push(value)
}
I was looking for a way to add max/min functions to JavaScript's Array class, which seemed to be a solved problem: JavaScript: min & max Array values?. However, when I tried using that, I started getting errors from my code. It turns out that this approach doesn't work with loops.
for(i in myArray) { console.log(i) }
prints out
1
2
3
max
min
Is there another approach I can use?
The accepted solution solves your immediate problem, but extending core objects is generally a bad idea. What happens when you include a library later that uses for..in? Or when you forget months later and use the wrong approach in a different section of your code?
Another option is to wrap and extend. Create a new type that uses an instance of Array as its prototype:
function ArrayThing() {}
ArrayThing.prototype = new Array();
Now you've got an object that you can extend without affecting Array:
ArrayThing.prototype.max = function() {
return Math.max.apply(null, [].slice.call(this, 0))
}
ArrayThing.prototype.min = function() {
return Math.min.apply(null, [].slice.call(this, 0))
}
var list = new ArrayThing();
// standard array methods still work
list.push(5);
list.push(22);
list.push(0);
list.push(-14);
list.length // => 4
// as do your new custom methods
list.max() // => 22
list.min() // => -14
This won't work in every situation, but unless you're sure you really, really need an Array, this is a useful alternative.
The for...in loop is used for looping through properties of an object. If you want to get the values from your array, you can do this:
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
console.log(myArray[i])
}
for in is a common Javascript trap. Instead of behaving like a foreach from other languages, it actualy enumerates all properties in a given object.
Since Javascript Arrays happen to have a property for each index using for in works sometimes, but as you have seen, it also enumerates any other properties you add. Another issue is that the for in is not guaranteed to go through the properties in any particular order, so your results can vary depending on which browser/runtime you use.
It is safer, then, to just use a boring for loop instead. There are many for loop idioms in Javascript, so I will list some:
Regular for loop:
for(i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
Regular loop, caching the length:
for(i=0, n=arr.length; i<n; i++){
Loops over arrays of objects/NodeLists:
for(i=0; obj=arr[i]; i++){ //this works as long as the array has no falsy values
foo(obj)
You need to apply a check using hasOwnProperty.
However this needs to applied wherever you are looping.
i.e:
for(i in myArray)
{
if(arr.hasOwnProperty(i))
{
console.log(i);
}
}
There's a more modern (IE9+) way to do this now:
var g = [];
Object.defineProperty(g, "log", {
enumerable: false,
configurable: false,
writable: false,
value: function(){ console.log(this); }
});
g.push(5);
g.push(9);
var t;
for (t in g){
console.log(g[t]);
}
prints 5 and 9 but does not list the "log" function
g.log() -> echos [5,9]
The key to this working is being able to flag a property as "enumerable: false" with marks the property as something that shouldn't be iterated over.
More on Object.defineProperty here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperty
The only difference I see in map and foreach is that map is returning an array and forEach is not. However, I don't even understand the last line of the forEach method "func.call(scope, this[i], i, this);". For example, isn't "this" and "scope" referring to same object and isn't this[i] and i referring to the current value in the loop?
I noticed on another post someone said "Use forEach when you want to do something on the basis of each element of the list. You might be adding things to the page, for example. Essentially, it's great for when you want "side effects". I don't know what is meant by side effects.
Array.prototype.map = function(fnc) {
var a = new Array(this.length);
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
a[i] = fnc(this[i]);
}
return a;
}
Array.prototype.forEach = function(func, scope) {
scope = scope || this;
for (var i = 0, l = this.length; i < l; i++) {
func.call(scope, this[i], i, this);
}
}
Finally, are there any real uses for these methods in JavaScript (since we aren't updating a database) other than to manipulate numbers like the following?
alert([1,2,3,4].map(function(x){ return x + 1})); // This is the only example I ever see of map in JavaScript.
The essential difference between map and forEach in your example is that forEach operates on the original array elements, whereas map explicitly returns a new array as a result.
With forEach you are taking some action with -- and optionally changing -- each element in the original array. The forEach method runs the function you provide for each element, but returns nothing (undefined). On the other hand, map walks through the array, applies a function to each element, and emits the result as a new array.
The "side effect" with forEach is that the original array is being changed. "No side effect" with map means that, in idiomatic usage, the original array elements are not changed; the new array is a one-to-one mapping of each element in the original array -- the mapping transform being your provided function.
The fact that there's no database involved does not mean that you won't have to operate on data structures, which, after all, is one of the essences of programming in any language. As for your last question, your array can contain not only numbers, but objects, strings, functions, etc.
The main difference between the two methods is conceptual and stylistic: You use forEach when you want to do something to or with each element of an array (doing "with" is what the post you cite meant by "side-effects", I think), whereas you use map when you want to copy and transform each element of an array (without changing the original).
Because both map and forEach call a function on each item in an array, and that function is user-defined, there is almost nothing you can do with one and not with the other. It's possible, though ugly, to use map to modify an array in-place and/or do something with array elements:
var a = [{ val: 1 }, { val: 2 }, { val: 3 }];
a.map(function(el) {
el.val++; // modify element in-place
alert(el.val); // do something with each element
});
// a now contains [{ val: 2 }, { val: 3 }, { val: 4 }]
but much cleaner and more obvious as to your intent to use forEach:
var a = [{ val: 1 }, { val: 2 }, { val: 3 }];
a.forEach(function(el) {
el.val++;
alert(el.val);
});
Especially if, as is usually the case in the real world, el is a usefully human-readable variable:
cats.forEach(function(cat) {
cat.meow(); // nicer than cats[x].meow()
});
In the same way, you can easily use forEach to make a new array:
var a = [1,2,3],
b = [];
a.forEach(function(el) {
b.push(el+1);
});
// b is now [2,3,4], a is unchanged
but it's cleaner to use map:
var a = [1,2,3],
b = a.map(function(el) {
return el+1;
});
Note as well that, because map makes a new array, it likely incurs at least some performance/memory hit when all you need is iteration, particularly for large arrays - see http://jsperf.com/map-foreach
As for why you'd want to use these functions, they're helpful any time you need to do array manipulation in JavaScript, which (even if we're just talking about JavaScript in a browser environment) is pretty often, almost any time you're accessing an array that you're not writing down by hand in your code. You might be dealing with an array of DOM elements on the page, or data pulled from an Ajax request, or data entered in a form by the user. One common example I run into is pulling data from an external API, where you might want to use map to transform the data into the format you want and then use forEach to iterate over your new array in order to display it to your user.
The voted answer (from Ken Redler) is misleading.
A side effect in computer science means that a property of a function/method alters a global state [Wikipedia]. In some narrow sense, this may also include reading from a global state, rather than from arguments. In imperative or OO programming, side effects appear most of the time. And you are probably making use of it without realizing.
The significant difference between forEach and map is that map allocates memory and stores the returning value, while forEach throws it away. See the ECMA specification for more information.
As for the reason why people say forEach is used when you want a side effect is that the return value of forEach is always undefined. If it has no side effect (does not change global state), then the function is just wasting CPU time. An optimizing compiler will eliminate this code block and replace the it with the final value (undefined).
By the way, it should be noted that JavaScript has no restriction on side effects. You can still modify the original array inside map.
var a = [1,2,3]; //original
var b = a.map( function(x,i){a[i] = 2*x; return x+1} );
console.log("modified=%j\nnew array=%j",a,b);
// output:
// modified=[2,4,6]
// new array=[2,3,4]
This is a beautiful question with an unexpected answer.
The following is based on the official description of Array.prototype.map().
There is nothing that forEach() can do that map() cannot. That is, map() is a strict super-set of forEach().
Although map() is usually used to create a new array, it may also be used to change the current array. The following example illustrates this:
var a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], mapped = null;
mapped = a.map(function (x) { a[x] = x*x*x; return x*x; });
console.log(mapped); // logs [0, 1, 4, 9, 16] As expected, these are squares.
console.log(a); // logs [0, 1, 8, 27, 64] These are cubes of the original array!!
In the above example, a was conveniently set such that a[i] === i for i < a.length. Even so, it demonstrates the power of map(), and in particular its ability to change the array on which it is called.
Note1:
The official description implies that map() may even change length the array on which it is called! However, I cannot see (a good) reason to do this.
Note 2:
While map() map is a super-set of forEach(), forEach() should still be used where one desires the change a given array. This makes your intentions clear.
You can use map as though it were forEach.
It will do more than it has to, however.
scope can be an arbitrary object; it's by no means necessarily this.
As for whether there are real uses for map and forEach, as well to ask if there are real uses for for or while loops.
While all the previous questions are correct, I would definitely make a different distinction. The use of map and forEach can imply intent.
I like to use map when I am simply transforming the existing data in some way (but want to make sure the original data is unchanged).
I like to use forEach when I am modifying the collection in place.
For instance,
var b = [{ val: 1 }, { val: 2 }, { val: 3 }];
var c = b.map(function(el) {
return { val: el.val + 1 }; // modify element in-place
});
console.log(b);
// [{ val: 1 }, { val: 2 }, { val: 3 }]
console.log(c);
// [{ val: 3 }, { val: 4 }, { val: 5 }]
My rule of thumb being making sure when you map you are always creating some new object/value to return for each element of the source list and returning it rather than just performing some operation on each element.
Unless you have any real need to modify the existing list, it doesn't really make sense to modify it in place and fits better into functional/immutable programming styles.
TL;DR answer --
map always returns another array.
forEach does not. It is up to you to decide what it does. Return an array if you want or do something else if you don't.
Flexibility is desirable is certain situations. If it isn't for what you are dealing with then use map.
Others have already posted about your main question regarding the difference between the functions. But for...
are there any real uses for these methods in JavaScript (since we aren't updating a database) other than to manipulate numbers like this:
...it's funny you should ask. Just today I wrote a piece of code that assigns a number of values from a regular expression to multiple variables using map for transformation.
It was used to convert a very complicated text-based structure into visualizable data ... but for simplicity's sake, I shall offer an example using date strings, because those are probably more familiar for everyone (though, if my problem had actually been with dates, instead of map I would've used Date-object, which would've done the job splendidly on its own).
const DATE_REGEXP = /^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\.(\d{3})Z$/;
const TEST_STRING = '2016-01-04T03:20:00.000Z';
var [
iYear,
iMonth,
iDay,
iHour,
iMinute,
iSecond,
iMillisecond
] = DATE_REGEXP
// We take our regular expression and...
.exec(TEST_STRING)
// ...execute it against our string (resulting in an array of matches)...
.slice(1)
// ...drop the 0th element from those (which is the "full string match")...
.map(value => parseInt(value, 10));
// ...and map the rest of the values to integers...
// ...which we now have as individual variables at our perusal
console.debug('RESULT =>', iYear, iMonth, iDay, iHour, iMinute, iSecond, iMillisecond);
So ... while this was just an example - and only did a very basic transformation for the data (just for sake of example) ... having done this without map would've been a much more tedious task.
Granted, it is written in a version of JavaScript that I don't think too many browsers support yet (at least fully), but - we're getting there. If I needed to run it in browser, I believe it would transpile nicely.
