Examples

Using the has() method

js
const mySet = new Set();
mySet.add("foo");

console.log(mySet.has("foo")); // true
console.log(mySet.has("bar")); // false

const set1 = new Set();
const obj1 = { key1: 1 };
set1.add(obj1);

console.log(set1.has(obj1)); // true
console.log(set1.has({ key1: 1 })); // false, because they are different object references
console.log(set1.add({ key1: 1 })); // now set1 contains 2 entries
