I'm trying to check if string matches any of the strings saved in database, but with the code I have right now it checks only the first one My code:
for (const key in keys) {
if (keys[key].key !== hashedQueryKey) {
return "Invalid Key provided.";
} else return true;
}
You should not return if the key does not match as you want to continue comparing keys. Something like:
function queryMatches(keys, hashedQueryKey) {
for (const key in keys) {
if (keys[key].key === hashedQueryKey) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
You could use Object.keys and Array.contains() to check if your key is present
if (Object.keys(keys).contains(hashedQueryKey)) {
return true;
} else {
return "Invalid Key provided.";
}
although looking at your code, and being paranoid ... just in case your 'key' property differs from the objects' key, using Object.keys and anyMatch() is safer ...
if (Object.keys(keys).anyMatch(key => keys[key].key === hashedQueryKey)) {
return true;
} else {
return "Invalid Key provided.";
}
if you don't need the message - just true or false , then you can just return the predicate.
ie.
return Object.keys(keys).contains(hashedQueryKey);
