1. find() method
The find() method returns the first value in the array, if an element satisfies the provided testing function.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
const food = [
{name: 'Apple', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Broccoli', type: 'vegetable'},
{name: 'Banana', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Fries', type: 'fast-food'},
{name: 'Cherry', type: 'fruit'}
];
const result = food.find(item => item.name === 'Banana');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4));
2. findIndex() method
The findIndex() method returns the index of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
const food = [
{name: 'Apple', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Broccoli', type: 'vegetable'},
{name: 'Banana', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Fries', type: 'fast-food'},
{name: 'Cherry', type: 'fruit'}
];
const result = food.findIndex(item => item.name === 'Broccoli');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4));
3. filter() method
The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
Find a single object by name property:
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
const food = [
{name: 'Apple', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Broccoli', type: 'vegetable'},
{name: 'Banana', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Fries', type: 'fast-food'},
{name: 'Cherry', type: 'fruit'}
];
const result = food.filter(item => item.name === 'Broccoli');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4));
Find multiple objects by type property:
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
const food = [
{name: 'Apple', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Broccoli', type: 'vegetable'},
{name: 'Banana', type: 'fruit'},
{name: 'Fries', type: 'fast-food'},
{name: 'Cherry', type: 'fruit'}
];
const result = food.filter(item => item.type === 'fruit');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 4));
