DOMTokenList: entries() method

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 entries() method of the DOMTokenList interface returns an iterator allowing you to go through all key/value pairs contained in this object. The values are Arrays which have [key, value] pairs, each representing a single token.

Syntax

js
entries()

Return value

Returns an iterator.

Examples

In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span> element as a DOMTokenList using Element.classList. We when retrieve an iterator containing the key/value pairs using entries(), then iterate through each one using a for...of loop, writing them to the <span>'s Node.textContent.

First, the HTML:

html
<span class="a b c"></span>

Now the JavaScript:

js
const span = document.querySelector("span");
const classes = span.classList;
const iterator = classes.entries();

for (const value of iterator) {
  span.textContent += `(${value})`;
}

The output looks like this:
