# Map.prototype.get()

The **`get()`** method returns a specified element from a `Map` object. If the
value that is associated to the provided key is an object, then you will get a
reference to that object and any change made to that object will effectively
modify it inside the `Map` object.

## Syntax

```js
get(key)
```

### Parameters

- `key`
  - : The key of the element to return from the `Map` object.

### Return value

The element associated with the specified key, or
[`undefined`](../../../globals/undefined.mdx) if the key can't be found in the `Map` object.
