I can't figure out how to properly use .filter() to find an object in an Array by searching for a value in its nested Array.
I have the following data:
const orders = [
{
id: 1,
items: [
{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "def",
},
],
},
{
id: 2,
items: [
{
itemId: "jkl",
},
{
itemId: "mno",
},
],
},
{
id: 3,
items: [
{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "xyz",
},
],
},
];
I have the needed itemId: "abc" which I need to use to find all the objects that have items that also have the Id of "abc", so that the result is this:
[
{
id: 1,
items: [
{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "def",
},
],
},
{
id: 3,
items: [
{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "xyz",
},
],
},
]
So far, I've tried the following:
orders &&
orders.filter((order) => {
return order.items.filter((item) => item.itemId === "abc");
});
But it doesn't seem to work. What am I missing here?
Chris G beat me to it in the comments but he is right, you need to use order.items.some in your inner function:
const orders = [{
id: 1,
items: [{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "def",
},
],
},
{
id: 2,
items: [{
itemId: "jkl",
},
{
itemId: "mno",
},
],
},
{
id: 3,
items: [{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "xyz",
},
],
},
]
var ans = orders.filter((order) => {
return order.items.some((item) => item.itemId === "abc");
});
console.log(ans)const orders = [{
id: 1,
items: [{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "def",
},
],
},
{
id: 2,
items: [{
itemId: "jkl",
},
{
itemId: "mno",
},
],
},
{
id: 3,
items: [{
itemId: "abc",
},
{
itemId: "xyz",
},
],
},
];
const result = orders.filter(order =>
order.items.find(item => item.itemId === 'abc') !== undefined
)
console.log(result);
