entries

Converts a map into an array of {key, value} objects. This is useful for iterating over map entries or transforming maps.

Syntax

<map>.entries()

Arguments

None. This function is chained only and takes no arguments.

Examples

Basic usage

{"a": 1, "b": 2}.entries()
// [{"key": "a", "value": 1}, {"key": "b", "value": 2}]

CLI usage — list all keys and values

$ echo '{"host": "localhost", "port": 8080}' | dasel -i json 'entries()'
[
    {
        "key": "host",
        "value": "localhost"
    },
    {
        "key": "port",
        "value": 8080
    }
]

Transform map keys — uppercase all keys via roundtrip

{"name": "Tom", "age": 30}
  .entries()
  .map({"key": toUpper(key), "value": value})
  .fromEntries()
// {"NAME": "Tom", "AGE": 30}

Notes

• Each entry object has a key (string) and value field.

• Use fromEntries to convert back from entries into a map.
