what are the nodejs datatype equivalent of container datatypes in thrift?

what are the nodejs datatype equivalent of the following thrift datatypes - 

List
Set 
Map

This is my .thrift file.

struct Person{
1: required string name_;
2: required map<i64,string> attribute1_;
3: required map<i64,i64> attribute2_;
4: required map<i64,string> attribute3_;
}

service ProcessPerson {  
  void DoPerson(
                1: required list<Person> person_array  
                ) 
}

In the nodejs client, while calling the DoPerson method, what should be the datatype for person_array? Is it an array of objects?

node.js doesn't add any specialized collection datatypes beyond those which are in javascript: Array and Object. If you are looking for similar functionality to List, Set and Map, I would take a look at underscore. It adds convenience methods for iterating, grouping, sorting, filtering, etc.

Yes, the equivalent to your example would be an array of objects:

var person  = {
   name: "Kevin Bacon",
   attribute1: {1:"one"},
   attribute2: {1:"two"},
   attribute3: {1:"three"}
};

function DoPerson(prs){
   var person_array = [person];
}

The List is an array. The Map is an object and the Set can be:

_.uniq(person_array)

Node.js doesn't over anything over native javascript, though there are modules available that implement the data types you are looking for
