I have a array of objects say items. I want to find item having name xyz.
Currently, I wrote a for loop
for(var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
if( items[i].name == "xyz" )
{
found = true;
break;
}
}
Is it possible to shorten this loop to one line statement using jquery? something like this:
$.find(items, "name", "xyz");
Something like:
$.grep(yourArray, function(n) {
return n.name == "xyz";
});
Use the native some method:
items.some(function(el) { return el.name == "xyz"; })
With jQuery, you would need to do something like $.grep and then check the length ($.grep(items, function(el){ return el.name=="xyz"; }).length > 1) - not an optimal solution. If you want to use a library solution for those browsers that don't support some (and don't want to use the polyfill), use Underscore's any.
var arr = ["abc", "xyz" ];
if($.inArray("abc",arr) > 0){
return true;
}
else
return false
this will return the index of "searching string"
if not found, it will return -1.
(function( $ ) {
$.find = function( array, property, key ) {
var found = false;
for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
if( array[i][property] == key )
{
found = true;
break;
}
}
return found ? i : -1;
};
})( jQuery );
Usage: $.find(items, "name", "xyz");
$.fn
indexOf.
