| 21 | +# Object Inverse |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +> Invert an object, such that keys become values and values become keys. |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +<section class="usage"> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Usage |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```javascript |
| 30 | +var invert = require( '@stdlib/object/inverse' ); |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +#### invert( obj\[, options] ) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Inverts an `object`, such that keys become values and values become keys. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```javascript |
| 38 | +var out = invert({ |
| 39 | + 'a': 'beep', |
| 40 | + 'b': 'boop' |
| 41 | +}); |
| 42 | +// returns { 'beep': 'a', 'boop': 'b' } |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The function accepts the following `options`: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- **duplicates**: `boolean` indicating whether to store keys mapped to duplicate values in `arrays`. Default: `true`. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +By default, keys mapped to duplicate values are stored in `arrays`. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +```javascript |
| 52 | +var out = invert({ |
| 53 | + 'a': 'beep', |
| 54 | + 'b': 'beep' |
| 55 | +}); |
| 56 | +// returns { 'beep': [ 'a', 'b' ] } |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +To **not** allow duplicates, set the `duplicates` option to `false`. The output `key-value` pair will be the `key` most recently inserted into the input `object`. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```javascript |
| 62 | +var obj = {}; |
| 63 | +obj.a = 'beep'; |
| 64 | +obj.b = 'boop'; |
| 65 | +obj.c = 'beep'; // inserted after `a` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +var out = invert( obj, { |
| 68 | + 'duplicates': false |
| 69 | +}); |
| 70 | +// returns { 'beep': 'c', 'boop': 'b' } |
| 71 | +``` |

| 79 | +## Notes |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +- Beware when providing `objects` having values which are themselves `objects`. This implementation relies on native `object` serialization (`#toString`) when converting values to keys. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + ```javascript |
| 84 | + var obj = { |
| 85 | + 'a': [ 1, 2, 3 ], |
| 86 | + 'b': { |
| 87 | + 'c': 'd' |
| 88 | + } |
| 89 | + }; |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + var out = invert( obj ); |
| 92 | + // returns { '1,2,3': 'a', '[object Object]': 'b' } |
| 93 | + ``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +- Insertion order is not guaranteed, as `object` key enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an `object`'s keys, thus allowing for deterministic inversion. |
