WeakValue

 

A Map with weakly referenced values, instead of keys, with an optional onValueCollected callback to pass aslong.

In Node.js, it requires V8 release v8.4 or greater.

``js
import WeakValue from 'weak-value';
// const WeakValue = require('weak-value');

const wv = new WeakValue;

(() => {
const value = {};
wv.set('any-key', value, / optional / (key, map) => {
// will log "any-key value collected" once GC kicks in
console.log(key, 'value collected');
console.log(map === wv); // true
});
})();
`

Please note that explicit wv.delete(key)` will NOT invoke onValueCollected, as deleting a key does not mean its referenced value has been collected.
