How to check if Javascript Map has an object key

Viewed 32354

Looking at a couple of different docs, all I see is when the Map (ECMAScript6) key is a boolean, string, or integer. Is there a way we could use another customized Object (called with the new CustomObject(x,y) constructor call) to be added as a key?

I am able to add an object as a key, but unable to check if the Map has the said object.

var myMap = new Map();
myMap.set( new Tuple(1,1), "foo");
myMap.set('bar', "foo");


myMap.has(?);  
myMap.has('bar');  // returns true

Is there a way around this?

  var myMap = new Map();
  myMap.set( new Tuple(1,1), "foo");

 for(some conditions) {
 var localData = new Tuple(1,1); //Use directly if exists in myMap? 
 map.has(localData) // returns false as this is a different Tuple object. But I need it to return true
}
