Set() constructor

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 Set() constructor creates Set objects.

Try it

Syntax

new Set()
new Set(iterable)

Note: Set() can only be constructed with new. Attempting to call it without new throws a TypeError.

Parameters

iterable Optional

If an iterable object is passed, all of its elements will be added to the new Set.

If you don't specify this parameter, or its value is null, the new Set is empty.

Return value

A new Set object.

Examples

Using the `Set` object

const mySet = new Set();

mySet.add(1); // Set [ 1 ]
mySet.add(5); // Set [ 1, 5 ]
mySet.add(5); // Set [ 1, 5 ]
mySet.add("some text"); // Set [ 1, 5, 'some text' ]
const o = { a: 1, b: 2 };
mySet.add(o);
