Looking at a couple of different docs, all I see is when the Map (ECMAScript6) key is a boolean, string, or integer. Is there a way we could use another customized Object (called with the new CustomObject(x,y) constructor call) to be added as a key?
I am able to add an object as a key, but unable to check if the Map has the said object.
var myMap = new Map();
myMap.set( new Tuple(1,1), "foo");
myMap.set('bar', "foo");
myMap.has(?);
myMap.has('bar'); // returns true
Is there a way around this?
var myMap = new Map();
myMap.set( new Tuple(1,1), "foo");
for(some conditions) {
var localData = new Tuple(1,1); //Use directly if exists in myMap?
map.has(localData) // returns false as this is a different Tuple object. But I need it to return true
}

You just have to save the reference to the object:
var myMap = new Map();
var myKey = new Tuple(1,1);
myMap.set( myKey, "foo");
myMap.set('bar', "foo");
myMap.has(myKey); // returns true; myKey === myKey
myMap.has(new Tuple(1,1)); // returns false; new Tuple(1,1) !== myKey
myMap.has('bar'); // returns true; 'bar' === 'bar'
Edit: Here is how to use an object to achieve what you want, which is to compare objects by their values rather than by reference:
function Tuple (x, y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
Tuple.prototype.toString = function () {
return 'Tuple [' + this.x + ',' + this.y + ']';
};
var myObject = {};
myObject[new Tuple(1, 1)] = 'foo';
myObject[new Tuple(1, 2)] = 'bar';
console.log(myObject[new Tuple(1, 1)]); // 'foo'
console.log(myObject[new Tuple(1, 2)]); // 'bar'
These operations will run in constant time on average, which is much faster than searching through a Map for a similar object key in linear time.
When you set an object to the map, you need to pass the same memory reference when checking if the map has it.
Example:
const map = new Map();
map.set(new Tuple(1,1));
map.has(new Tuple(1,1)) // False. You are checking a new object, not the same as the one you set.
const myObject = new Tuple(1,1);
map.set(myObject);
map.has(myObject) // True. You are checking the same object.
EDIT
If you really have to do this, you could do the following:
function checkSameObjKey(map, key) {
const keys = map.keys();
let anotherKey;
while(anotherKey = keys.next().value) {
// YOUR COMPARISON HERE
if (key.id == anotherKey.id) return true;
}
return false;
}
const map = new Map();
map.set({id: 1}, 1);
checkSameObjKey(map, {id: 1}); // True
checkSameObjKey(map, {id: 2}); // False
