Let's delve into a straightforward example:
const simpleObject = {
one: 'one',
two: 'two',
three: 'three'
}
Historically, pre ES2015 objects did not guarantee the preservation of key order upon retrieval. However, this is less of an issue in modern times.
Within our TypeScript implementation, we questioned whether using as const would actually maintain the original key order:
const simpleObject = {
one: 'one',
two: 'two',
three: 'three'
} as const
The impact of applying as const remains ambiguous.
Notably, JavaScript's Map object upholds key order, presenting a viable alternative to the above object.
When prioritizing the preservation of key order, what options are available and which solution proves most effective?
