我们可以使用简单的函数来获取传递的值

const getKeyByValue = (object, value) => Object.keys(object).find(key => object[key] === value)

这里有一个Lodash解决方案，适用于flat key =>值对象，而不是嵌套对象。已接受的答案建议使用_。findKey适用于具有嵌套对象的对象，但在这种常见情况下不起作用。

这种方法将对象颠倒，将键交换为值，然后通过查找新(颠倒的)对象上的值来查找键。如果没有找到键，则返回false，我更喜欢undefined，但你可以很容易地在_的第三个参数中交换它。getKey()中的get方法。

// Get an object's key by value var getKey = function( obj, value ) { var inverse = _.invert( obj ); return _.get( inverse, value, false ); }; // US states used as an example var states = { "AL": "Alabama", "AK": "Alaska", "AS": "American Samoa", "AZ": "Arizona", "AR": "Arkansas", "CA": "California", "CO": "Colorado", "CT": "Connecticut", "DE": "Delaware", "DC": "District Of Columbia", "FM": "Federated States Of Micronesia", "FL": "Florida", "GA": "Georgia", "GU": "Guam", "HI": "Hawaii", "ID": "Idaho", "IL": "Illinois", "IN": "Indiana", "IA": "Iowa", "KS": "Kansas", "KY": "Kentucky", "LA": "Louisiana", "ME": "Maine", "MH": "Marshall Islands", "MD": "Maryland", "MA": "Massachusetts", "MI": "Michigan", "MN": "Minnesota", "MS": "Mississippi", "MO": "Missouri", "MT": "Montana", "NE": "Nebraska", "NV": "Nevada", "NH": "New Hampshire", "NJ": "New Jersey", "NM": "New Mexico", "NY": "New York", "NC": "North Carolina", "ND": "North Dakota", "MP": "Northern Mariana Islands", "OH": "Ohio", "OK": "Oklahoma", "OR": "Oregon", "PW": "Palau", "PA": "Pennsylvania", "PR": "Puerto Rico", "RI": "Rhode Island", "SC": "South Carolina", "SD": "South Dakota", "TN": "Tennessee", "TX": "Texas", "UT": "Utah", "VT": "Vermont", "VI": "Virgin Islands", "VA": "Virginia", "WA": "Washington", "WV": "West Virginia", "WI": "Wisconsin", "WY": "Wyoming" }; console.log( 'The key for "Massachusetts" is "' + getKey( states, 'Massachusetts' ) + '"' ); <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.4/lodash.min.js"></script>

没有可用的标准方法。你需要迭代，你可以创建一个简单的helper:

Object.prototype.getKeyByValue = function( value ) {
    for( var prop in this ) {
        if( this.hasOwnProperty( prop ) ) {
             if( this[ prop ] === value )
                 return prop;
        }
    }
}

var test = {
   key1: 42,
   key2: 'foo'
};

test.getKeyByValue( 42 );  // returns 'key1'

提醒一句:即使上述方法有效，扩展任何主机或本机对象的.prototype通常也不是一个好主意。我这样做是因为它很适合这个问题。不管怎样，你应该在.prototype之外使用这个函数，并将对象传递给它。

如果你正在使用下划线或Lodash库，你可以使用_。findKey功能:

var users = {
  'barney':  { 'age': 36, 'active': true },
  'fred':    { 'age': 40, 'active': false },
  'pebbles': { 'age': 1,  'active': true }
};

_.findKey(users, function(o) { return o.age < 40; });
// => 'barney' (iteration order is not guaranteed)

// The `_.matches` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, { 'age': 1, 'active': true });
// => 'pebbles'

// The `_.matchesProperty` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, ['active', false]);
// => 'fred'

// The `_.property` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, 'active');
// => 'barney'

保持原型干净。

function val2key(val,array){
    for (var key in array) {
        if(array[key] == val){
            return key;
        }
    }
 return false;
}

例子:

var map = {"first" : 1, "second" : 2};
var key = val2key(2,map); /*returns "second"*/

ES6方法:

Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(a).map(b => b.reverse()))['value_you_look_for']
