Command Reference: map

Creates a map from two data sources

Description

This takes two parameters - which are code blocks - and combines them to output a key/value map in JSON.

The first block is the key and the second is the value.

Usage

map { code-block } { code-block } -> <stdout>

Examples

» map { tout: json (["key 1", "key 2", "key 3"]) } { tout: json (["value 1", "value 2", "value 3"]) } 
{
    "key 1": "value 1",
    "key 2": "value 2",
    "key 3": "value 3"
}
