Как найти объект в массиве объектов js

Use the find() method:

myArray.find(x => x.id === '45').foo;

From MDN:

The find() method returns the first value in the array, if an element in the array satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise undefined is returned.

If you want to find its index instead, use findIndex():

myArray.findIndex(x => x.id === '45');

From MDN:

The findIndex() method returns the index of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise -1 is returned.

If you want to get an array of matching elements, use the filter() method instead:

myArray.filter(x => x.id === '45');

This will return an array of objects. If you want to get an array of foo properties, you can do this with the map() method:

myArray.filter(x => x.id === '45').map(x => x.foo);

Side note: methods like find() or filter(), and arrow functions are not supported by older browsers (like IE), so if you want to support these browsers, you should transpile your code using Babel (with the polyfill).

As you are already using jQuery, you can use the grep function which is intended for searching an array:

var result = $.grep(myArray, function(e){ return e.id == id; });

The result is an array with the items found. If you know that the object is always there and that it only occurs once, you can just use result[0].foo to get the value. Otherwise you should check the length of the resulting array. Example:

if (result.length === 0) {
  // no result found
} else if (result.length === 1) {
  // property found, access the foo property using result[0].foo
} else {
  // multiple items found
}

Another solution is to create a lookup object:

var lookup = {};
for (var i = 0, len = array.length; i < len; i++) {
    lookup[array[i].id] = array[i];
}

... now you can use lookup[id]...

This is especially interesting if you need to do many lookups.

This won’t need much more memory since the IDs and objects will be shared.

ECMAScript 2015 (JavaScript ES6) provides the find()
method on arrays:

var myArray = [
 {id:1, name:"bob"},
 {id:2, name:"dan"},
 {id:3, name:"barb"},
]

// grab the Array item which matchs the id "2"
var item = myArray.find(item => item.id === 2);

// print
console.log(item.name);

It works without external libraries. But if you want older browser support you might want to include this polyfill.

Underscore.js has a nice method for that:

myArray = [{'id':'73','foo':'bar'},{'id':'45','foo':'bar'},etc.]
obj = _.find(myArray, function(obj) { return obj.id == '45' })

I think the easiest way would be the following, but it won’t work on Internet Explorer 8 (or earlier):

var result = myArray.filter(function(v) {
    return v.id === '45'; // Filter out the appropriate one
})[0].foo; // Get result and access the foo property

Try the following

function findById(source, id) {
  for (var i = 0; i < source.length; i++) {
    if (source[i].id === id) {
      return source[i];
    }
  }
  throw "Couldn't find object with id: " + id;
}

myArray.filter(function(a){ return a.id == some_id_you_want })[0]

Performance

Today 2020.06.20 I perform test on MacOs High Sierra on Chrome 81.0, Firefox 77.0 and Safari 13.1 for chosen solutions.

Conclusions for solutions which use precalculations

Solutions with precalculations (K,L) are (much much) faster than other solutions and will not be compared with them — probably they are use some special build-in browser optimisations

• surprisingly on Chrome and Safari solution based on Map (K) are much faster than solution based on object {} (L)
• surprisingly on Safari for small arrays solution based on object {} (L) is slower than traditional for (E)
• surprisingly on Firefox for small arrays solution based on Map (K) is slower than traditional for (E)

Conclusions when searched objects ALWAYS exists

• solution which use traditional for (E) is fastest for small arrays and fast for big arrays
• solution using cache (J) is fastest for big arrays — surprisingly for small arrays is medium fast
• solutions based on find (A) and findIndex (B) are fast for small arras and medium fast on big arrays
• solution based on $.map (H) is slowest on small arrays
• solution based on reduce (D) is slowest on big arrays

Conclusions when searched objects NEVER exists

• solution based on traditional for (E) is fastest on small and big arrays (except Chrome-small arrays where it is second fast)
• solution based on reduce (D) is slowest on big arrays
• solution which use cache (J) is medium fast but can be speed up if we save in cache also keys which have null values (which was not done here because we want to avoid unlimited memory consumption in cache in case when many not existing keys will be searched)

Details

For solutions

• without precalculations: A
  B
  C
  D
  E
  F
  G
  H
  I
  J (the J solution use ‘inner’ cache and it speed depend on how often searched elements will repeat)
• with precalculations
  K
  L

I perform four tests. In tests I want to find 5 objects in 10 loop iterations (the objects ID not change during iterations) — so I call tested method 50 times but only first 5 times have unique id values:

• small array (10 elements) and searched object ALWAYS exists — you can perform it HERE
• big array (10k elements) and searched object ALWAYS exist — you can perform it HERE
• small array (10 elements) and searched object NEVER exists — you can perform it HERE
• big array (10k elements) and searched object NEVER exists — you can perform it HERE

Tested codes are presented below

Example tests results for Chrome for small array where searched objects always exists

const res = myArray.find(x => x.id === '100').foo; // Uh oh!
/*
Error:

const myArray = [{'id':'73','foo':'bar'},{'id':'45','foo':'bar'}];
const res = myArray.find(x => x.id === '100')?.foo; // No error!
console.log(res); // undefined when the object cannot be found

You can get this easily using the map() function:

myArray = [{'id':'73','foo':'bar'},{'id':'45','foo':'bar'}];

var found = $.map(myArray, function(val) {
    return val.id == 45 ? val.foo : null;
});

//found[0] == "bar";

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/hunter/Pxaua/

Using native Array.reduce

var array = [ {'id':'73' ,'foo':'bar'} , {'id':'45' ,'foo':'bar'} , ];
var id = 73;

var found = array.reduce(function(a, b){
    return (a.id==id && a) || (b.id == id && b)
});

returns the object element if found, otherwise false

You can use filters,

  function getById(id, myArray) {
    return myArray.filter(function(obj) {
      if(obj.id == id) {
        return obj 
      }
    })[0]
  }

get_my_obj = getById(73, myArray);

Recently, I have to face the same thing in which I need to search the string from a huge array.

After some search I found It’ll be easy to handle with simple code:

Code:

var items = mydata.filter(function(item){
    return item.word.toLowerCase().startsWith( 'gk );
})

You may try out Sugarjs from http://sugarjs.com/.

It has a very sweet method on Arrays, .find. So you can find an element like this:

array.find( {id: 75} );

You may also pass an object with more properties to it to add another «where-clause».

Note that Sugarjs extends native objects, and some people consider this very evil…

As long as the browser supports ECMA-262, 5th edition (December 2009), this should work, almost one-liner:

var bFound = myArray.some(function (obj) {
    return obj.id === 45;
});

More generic and short

function findFromArray(array,key,value) {
        return array.filter(function (element) {
            return element[key] == value;
        }).shift();
}

in your case Ex. var element = findFromArray(myArray,'id',45) that will give you the whole element.

Use Array.prototype.filter() function.

DEMO: https://jsfiddle.net/sumitridhal/r0cz0w5o/4/

JSON

var jsonObj =[
 {
  "name": "Me",
  "info": {
   "age": "15",
   "favColor": "Green",
   "pets": true
  }
 },
 {
  "name": "Alex",
  "info": {
   "age": "16",
   "favColor": "orange",
   "pets": false
  }
 },
{
  "name": "Kyle",
  "info": {
   "age": "15",
   "favColor": "Blue",
   "pets": false
  }
 }
];

FILTER

var getPerson = function(name){
    return jsonObj.filter(function(obj) {
      return obj.name === name;
    });
}

answered May 2, 2017 at 15:40

You can do this even in pure JavaScript by using the in built «filter» function for arrays:

Array.prototype.filterObjects = function(key, value) {
    return this.filter(function(x) { return x[key] === value; })
}

So now simply pass «id» in place of key and «45» in place of value, and you will get the full object matching an id of 45. So that would be,

myArr.filterObjects("id", "45");

answered Oct 26, 2014 at 4:39

I really liked the answer provided by Aaron Digulla but needed to keep my array of objects so I could iterate through it later. So I modified it to

	var indexer = {};
	for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
	    indexer[array[i].id] = parseInt(i);
	}
	
	//Then you can access object properties in your array using 
	array[indexer[id]].property

answered Nov 19, 2014 at 3:55

Use:

var retObj ={};
$.each(ArrayOfObjects, function (index, obj) {

        if (obj.id === '5') { // id.toString() if it is int

            retObj = obj;
            return false;
        }
    });
return retObj;

It should return an object by id.

This solution may helpful as well:

Array.prototype.grep = function (key, value) {
    var that = this, ret = [];
    this.forEach(function (elem, index) {
        if (elem[key] === value) {
            ret.push(that[index]);
        }
    });
    return ret.length < 2 ? ret[0] : ret;
};
var bar = myArray.grep("id","45");

I made it just like $.grep and if one object is find out, function will return the object, rather than an array.

I have an array of objects:

Object = {
   1 : { name : bob , dinner : pizza },
   2 : { name : john , dinner : sushi },
   3 : { name : larry, dinner : hummus }
}

I want to be able to search the object/array for where the key is «dinner», and see if it matches «sushi».

I know jQuery has $.inArray, but it doesn’t seem to work on arrays of objects. Or maybe I’m wrong. indexOf also seems to only work on one array level.

Is there no function or existing code for this?

jQuery has a built-in method jQuery.grep that works similarly to the ES5 filter function from @adamse’s Answer and should work fine on older browsers.

Using adamse’s example:

var peoples = [
  { "name": "bob", "dinner": "pizza" },
  { "name": "john", "dinner": "sushi" },
  { "name": "larry", "dinner": "hummus" }
];

you can do the following

jQuery.grep(peoples, function (person) { return person.dinner == "sushi" });
  // => [{ "name": "john", "dinner": "sushi" }]

You can use a simple for in loop:

for (prop in Obj){
    if (Obj[prop]['dinner'] === 'sushi'){

        // Do stuff with found object. E.g. put it into an array:
        arrFoo.push(Obj[prop]);
    }
}

The following fiddle example puts all objects that contain dinner:sushi into an array:

There’s already a lot of good answers here so why not one more, use a library like lodash or underscore

obj = {
   1 : { name : 'bob' , dinner : 'pizza' },
   2 : { name : 'john' , dinner : 'sushi' },
   3 : { name : 'larry', dinner : 'hummus' }
}

_.where(obj, {dinner: 'pizza'})
>> [{"name":"bob","dinner":"pizza"}]

I had to search a nested sitemap structure for the first leaf item that machtes a given path. I came up with the following code just using .map() .filter() and .reduce. Returns the last item found that matches the path /c.

var sitemap = {
  nodes: [
    {
      items: [{ path: "/a" }, { path: "/b" }]
    },
    {
      items: [{ path: "/c" }, { path: "/d" }]
    },
    {
      items: [{ path: "/c" }, { path: "/d" }]
    }
  ]
};

const item = sitemap.nodes
  .map(n => n.items.filter(i => i.path === "/c"))
  .reduce((last, now) => last.concat(now))
  .reduce((last, now) => now);

If You want to find a specific object via search function just try something like this:

    function findArray(value){

        let countLayer = dataLayer.length;
        for(var x = 0 ; x < countLayer ; x++){

            if(dataLayer[x].user){
                let newArr = dataLayer[x].user;
                let data = newArr[value];
                return data;
            }

        }

        return null;

    }

    findArray("id");

This is an example object:

layerObj = {
    0: { gtm.start :1232542, event: "gtm.js"},
    1: { event: "gtm.dom", gtm.uniqueEventId: 52},
    2: { visitor id: "abcdef2345"},
    3: { user: { id: "29857239", verified: "Null", user_profile: "Personal", billing_subscription: "True", partners_user: "adobe"}
}

Code will iterate and find the «user» array and will search for the object You seek inside.

My problem was when the array index changed every window refresh and it was either in 3rd or second array, but it does not matter.

Worked like a charm for Me!

In Your example it is a bit shorter:

function findArray(value){

    let countLayer = Object.length;
    for(var x = 0 ; x < countLayer ; x++){

        if(Object[x].dinner === value){
            return Object[x];
        }

    }

    return null;

}

findArray('sushi');

We use object-scan for most of our data processing. It’s conceptually very simple, but allows for a lot of cool stuff. Here is how you would solve your question

// const objectScan = require('object-scan');

const findDinner = (dinner, data) => objectScan(['*'], {
  abort: true,
  rtn: 'value',
  filterFn: ({ value }) => value.dinner === dinner
})(data);

const data = { 1: { name: 'bob', dinner: 'pizza' }, 2: { name: 'john', dinner: 'sushi' }, 3: { name: 'larry', dinner: 'hummus' } };

console.log(findDinner('sushi', data));
// => { name: 'john', dinner: 'sushi' }

.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important; top: 0}
