I'm trying to filter out objects based on whether ALL the given search terms exist in SOME of the property values of EACH object in the array. But I also don't want to search within the deviceId property.

But is there a way to do it with less code?

So I do the following:

1. Convert the objects into iterable arrays
2. Filter out the array to remove arrays withdeviceId
3. Convert the arrays back into the Key/Value pair objects

let DeviceDtoArrayOfArray = [];

DeviceDtos.forEach((indiv) => {
  DeviceDtoArrayOfArray.push(Object.entries(indiv));
});
let DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFiltered = [];
DeviceDtoArrayOfArray.forEach((indiv) =>
  DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFiltered.push(
    indiv.filter((indiv) => indiv[0] !== "deviceId")
  )
);

let DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFilteredObjects = [];

DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFiltered.forEach((indiv) => {
  DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFilteredObjects.push(Object.fromEntries(indiv));
});

4. Define sample search term array
5. For each object from Step 3, create an array of it's property values
6. Filter each Object in the array by searching each Search Term, check to see if it exists within some of the property values from Step 5, if it exists, then the object is returned to a new array, if not, it's filtered out

Sample Array containing the objects with deviceId

const DeviceDtos = [
  {
    deviceId: 1,
    deviceName: "Device0000",
    hwModelName: "Unassigned",
    deviceTypeName: "Unassigned",
    serviceTag: "A1A"
  },...

Sample Search Terms

const searchTerms = ["HwModel", "A1A"];

Filter out objects based on Search Terms

const results = DeviceDtoArrayOfArrayFilteredObjects.filter((indiv) => {
  const propertiesValues = Object.values(indiv); // all property values

  return searchTerms.every((term) =>
    propertiesValues.some(
      (property) => property.toLowerCase().indexOf(term.toLowerCase()) > -1
    )
  );
});

console.log(results);
