7 Ways to Find in array using JavaScript

7 ways to find in array using JavaScript | Code Architects

There are many different ways to find value in an array. We will discuss few pre-defined ways to find value from an array using JavaScript. They are:

1. find()

The array find() method returns the first matched element in an array that satisfies a condition. The find() method takes a function as an argument that returns true or false based on some condition.

If it finds an array element where the function returns a true value, find() returns the value of that array element otherwise it returns undefined.

let score = [55,77,82,66,48];
let value = score.find(val => val > 60);
console.log(value);
// 77

2. findIndex()

The array findIndex() method returns the index of the first matched element in the array that satisfies a condition. This method returns the index of the first element in an array that passes a test.

If it finds an array element where the function returns a true value, findIndex() returns the index of that array element otherwise it returns -1.

let score = [55,77,82,66,48];
let value = score.findIndex(val => val > 60);
console.log(value);
// 1

3. includes()

The includes() method checks if a specified element is present or not in an array and returns a Boolean value.

This method returns true if the array contains the element, and false if not.

let menu = ["Pizza", "Burger", "Momos"];
console.log(menu.includes("Dal-baati"));
// false

4. indexOf()

This method returns the index of the first occurrence of matched elements in an array. If no element is matched then indexOf returns -1. This method is case sensitive.

let fruits = ["๐Ÿ“", "๐Ÿ’", "๐ŸŽ", "๐Ÿ‰"];
console.log(fruits.indexOf("๐Ÿ“"));   // 0
console.log(fruits.indexOf("๐Ÿ"));   // -1

5. lastIndexOf()

The method returns the index of the last occurrence of the matched elements in an array. If the item to search for is present more than once, the lastIndexOf() method returns the position of the last occurrence. It searches elements from the end to the beginning of an array. If no element is matched then it returns -1. This method is also case sensitive.

let fruits = ["๐ŸŽ", "๐Ÿ’", "๐ŸŽ", "๐Ÿ‰"];
console.log(fruits.indexOf("๐Ÿ"));  //-1
console.log(fruits.indexOf("๐ŸŽ"));  // 2

6. map()

The map() method creates a new array populated with the results of calling a provided function on every element in the calling array. The map() method calls the provided function once for each element in an array, in order.

let marks = [53,29,65,22,71];
let pass = [];
marks.map(val => {
  if(val >= 30) pass.push(val);
});

7. filter()

This method finds and filters out elements that do not pass the condition. This method takes a function as an argument that returns true or false. This function executes for each element in array. If the function returns true for any element then only that element gets included in the returned array.

let marks = [53,29,65,22,71];
let pass = marks.filter(val => val >= 30);
console.log(pass);
// [53,65,71]
