get

Instance method on Map.prototype.

Returns a specified element from the 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.

get(input: { map: <receiver>; key: K; prompt?: string }): Promise<V>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native Map.prototype.get and returns a resolved Promise without contacting the LLM. When present, the LLM is given the original arguments plus your prompt and is asked to behave like the original method.

import { configureClient, neuro } from 'neuro-ts';
configureClient({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// Lookup with ambiguity. Missing vs. stored-undefined: the question that launched a thousand utility libraries.
await neuro.map.get({ map: cache, key: id, prompt: 'return the value associated with key, or undefined - indistinguishable from a stored undefined unless you also call has' });

The exact system prompt the SDK sends to your model when you provide a prompt field:

Generated promptMap.prototype.get
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Map.prototype.get`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (key: K) => V
## JSDoc
Returns a specified element from the 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.

## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `get` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.
