Convert Map To JSON Object In Javascript

Answer :

Given in MDN, fromEntries() is available since Node v12:

const map1 = new Map([
  ['foo', 'bar'],
  ['baz', 42]
]);

const obj = Object.fromEntries(map1);
// { foo: 'bar', baz: 42 }

For converting object back to map:

const map2 = new Map(Object.entries(obj));
// Map(2) { 'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 42 }

I hope this function is self-explanatory enough. This is what I used to do the job.

/*
 * Turn the map<String, Object> to an Object so it can be converted to JSON
 */
function mapToObj(inputMap) {
    let obj = {};

    inputMap.forEach(function(value, key){
        obj[key] = value
    });

    return obj;
}


JSON.stringify(returnedObject)

You could loop over the map and over the keys and assign the value

function createPaths(aliases, propName, path) {
    aliases.set(propName, path);
}

var map = new Map(),
    object = {};

createPaths(map, 'paths.aliases.server.entry', 'src/test');
createPaths(map, 'paths.aliases.dist.entry', 'dist/test');

map.forEach((value, key) => {
    var keys = key.split('.'),
        last = keys.pop();
    keys.reduce((r, a) => r[a] = r[a] || {}, object)[last] = value;
});

console.log(object);
