Look up object keys by value

Question

Object = {"o":"s","e":"w"}

If I have this object, is there a way to perform reverse lookups on it? Something like:

Object.invert()["s"]
> "o"

For what reason you want this? – Pavlo Zhukov Apr 25 '17 at 18:48 — Pavlo Zhukov, Apr 25 '17 at 18:48

You want to revert the key/value mapping.

var test = {a: "b", c: "d"}
var reverted = {}
for(var key in test) {
    reverted[test[key]] = key
}
