How to define Typescript Map of key value pair. where key is a number and value is an array of objects

In my angular2 app i want to create a map which takes a number as key and returns an array of objects. I am currently implementing in following way but no luck. How should i implement it or should i use some other data structure for this purpose? I want to use map because maybe its fast?

Declaration

 private myarray : [{productId : number , price : number , discount : number}];

priceListMap : Map<number, [{productId : number , price : number , discount : number}]> 
= new Map<number, [{productId : number , price : number , discount : number}]>();

Usage

this.myarray.push({productId : 1 , price : 100 , discount : 10});
this.myarray.push({productId : 2 , price : 200 , discount : 20});
this.myarray.push({productId : 3 , price : 300 , discount : 30});
this.priceListMap.set(1 , this.myarray);
this.myarray = null;

this.myarray.push({productId : 1 , price : 400 , discount : 10});
this.myarray.push({productId : 2 , price : 500 , discount : 20});
this.myarray.push({productId : 3 , price : 600 , discount : 30});
this.priceListMap.set(2 , this.myarray);
this.myarray = null;

this.myarray.push({productId : 1 , price : 700 , discount : 10});
this.myarray.push({productId : 2 , price : 800 , discount : 20});
this.myarray.push({productId : 3 , price : 900 , discount : 30});
this.priceListMap.set(3 , this.myarray);
this.myarray = null;

I want to get an array of 3 objects if i use this.priceList.get(1);


First thing, define a type or interface for your object, it will make things much more readable:

type Product = { productId: number; price: number; discount: number };

You used a tuple of size one instead of array, it should look like this:

let myarray: Product[];
let priceListMap : Map<number, Product[]> = new Map<number, Product[]>();

So now this works fine:

myarray.push({productId : 1 , price : 100 , discount : 10});
myarray.push({productId : 2 , price : 200 , discount : 20});
myarray.push({productId : 3 , price : 300 , discount : 30});
priceListMap.set(1 , this.myarray);
myarray = null;

(code in playground)


The most simple way is to use Record type Record<number, productDetails>

interface productDetails {
   productId : number , 
   price : number , 
   discount : number
};

const myVar : Record<number, productDetails> = {
   1: {
       productId : number , 
       price : number , 
       discount : number
   }
}

you can also skip creating dictionary altogether. i used below approach to same problem .

 mappedItems: {};
 items.forEach(item => {     
        if (mappedItems[item.key]) {
           mappedItems[item.key].push({productId : item.productId , price : item.price , discount : item.discount});
        } else {
          mappedItems[item.key] = [];
          mappedItems[item.key].push({productId : item.productId , price : item.price , discount : item.discount}));
        }
    });
