Not sure how to approach this problem, but I want to see if two values are in the same 'line'
var inventory_needed = [
{ section: "hardware", supplies: "hammers" },
{ section: "plumbing", supplies: "pipes" },
{ section: "garden", supplies: "grass seeds" },
{ section: "cleaning supplies", supplies: ["hand sanitizer", "detergent"] },
{ section: "appliances", supplies: ["fridges", "dishwashers"] }
];
psuedocode of what I want to try to attempt
if(section.value && supplies.value in the same line) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
//example 1
if("appliances" && "fridges" in the same line) {
return true; //would return true
}
else {
return false;
}
//example 2
if("plumbing" && "fridges" in the same line) {
return true;
}
else {
return false; //would return false
}
By in the same line, you seem to mean defined within the same object in the array. If that's correct, the way to do that is like this:
function inTheSameLine(section, supplies){
return inventory_needed.some(obj => {
return obj.section === section && (
obj.supplies === supplies || (
Array.isArray(obj.supplies) && obj.supplies.includes(supplies)
)
);
});
}
The JavaScript array some function returns true if any of the array elements satisfy the condition.
