How can I get the set of values in an object?

So basically the length.

There are two methods.

1. You can refer to the object property in JavaScript which will tell you how many keys there are in a given object. (getObjectlength function).

2. You can count these fields yourself by iterating over the object. In MicroScript, just like in JavaScript, an object is something like an associative list - a given key has a value associated with it. And since it's a list, it means that you can iterate over it using a for loop.

const getObjectLength = function(obj) {
  if (obj && typeof obj === 'object') {
    return Object.keys(obj).length;
  }
  throw new Error('Provided argument is not an object');
};

global.getObjectLength = getObjectLength;
