The keys() method of the DOMTokenList interface returns an iterator allowing to go through all keys contained in this object. The keys are of type unsigned integer.
Syntax
tokenList.keys();
Parameters
None.
Return value
Returns an iterator.
Examples
In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span> element as a DOMTokenList using Element.classList. We when retrieve an iterator containing the keys using values(), then iterate through those keys using a for ... of loop, writing each one to the <span>'s Node.textContent.
First, the HTML:
<span class="a b c"></span>
Now the JavaScript:
var span = document.querySelector("span");
var classes = span.classList;
var iterator = classes.keys();
for(var value of iterator) {
span.textContent += value + ' ++ ';
}
The output looks like this:
