Get key using value from an object in JavaScript?

As you already assumed you need to iterate over the object's attributes and check the value.

for(var key in c) {
    if(c[key] === whatever) {
        // do stuff with key
    }
}

es6 find method:

const getKey = (obj,val) => Object.keys(obj).find(key => obj[key] === val);

in your case

console.log(getKey(c,1)); // INDEX_SIZE_ERR

Underscore provides a more easy solution to this

You can get key using this code also

var errKey = _.invert(c)[errCode];

for e.x. if you use errCode = 3 as shown below

var errKey = _.invert(c)[3];

then

errKey will be HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
