My array looks like this:
array = [object {id: 1, value: "itemname"}, object {id: 2, value: "itemname"}, ...]
all my objects have the same attibutes, but with different values.
Is there an easy way I can use a WHERE statement for that array?
Take the object where object.id = var
or do I just need to loop over the entire array and check every item? My array has over a 100 entries, so I wanted to know if there was a more efficient way
Use Array.find:
let array = [
{ id: 1, value: "itemname" },
{ id: 2, value: "itemname" }
];
let item1 = array.find(i => i.id === 1);
Array.find at MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/find
let array = [
{ id: 1, value: "itemname" },
{ id: 2, value: "itemname" }
];
let item1 = array.filter(item => item.id === 1)[0];
let item2 = array.reduce((prev, current) => prev || current.id === 1 ? current : null);
console.log(item1); // Object {id: 1, value: "itemname"}
console.log(item2); // Object {id: 1, value: "itemname"}
If you care about iterating over the entire array then use some:
let item;
array.some(i => {
if (i.id === 1) {
item = i;
return true;
}
return false;
});
You can search a certain value in array of objects using TypeScript dynamically if you need to search the value from all fields of the object without specifying column
var searchText = 'first';
let items = [
{ id: 1, name: "first", grade: "A" },
{ id: 2, name: "second", grade: "B" }
];
This below code will search for the value
var result = items.filter(item =>
Object.keys(item).some(k => item[k] != null &&
item[k].toString().toLowerCase()
.includes(searchText.toLowerCase()))
);
Same approach can be used to make a Search Filter Pipe in angularjs 4 using TypeScript
