Headers: forEach() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The Headers.forEach() method executes a callback function once per each key/value pair in the Headers object.

Syntax

js
forEach(callbackFn)
forEach(callbackFn, thisArg)

Parameters

callbackFn

Function to execute for each entry in the map. It takes the following arguments:

value

Value of the currently visited header entry.

key

Name of the currently visited header entry.

object

The Headers object being iterated.

thisArg Optional

Value to use as this when executing callback.

Return value

Description

The Headers.forEach() method executes the provided callback once for each key of the Headers which actually exist. It is not invoked for keys which have been deleted. However, it is executed for keys which are present but have the value undefined.

Examples

Printing the contents of Headers object

The following code logs a line for each key/value in the myHeaders object.

js
// Create a new test Headers object
const myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");
myHeaders.append("Cookie", "This is a demo cookie");
myHeaders.append("compression", "gzip");

// Display the key/value pairs
myHeaders.forEach((value, key) => {
  console.log(`${key} ==> ${value}`);
});

The result is:

compression ==> gzip
content-type ==> application/json
cookie ==> This is a demo cookie
