javascript array find where code example

Example 1: find element in array javascript

const simpleArray = [3, 5, 7, 15];
const objectArray = [{ name: 'John' }, { name: 'Emma' }]

console.log( simpleArray.find(e => e === 7) )
// expected output 7

console.log( simpleArray.find(e => e === 10) )
// expected output undefined

console.log( objectArray.find(e => e.name === 'John') )
// expected output { name: 'John' }

Example 2: array find

const array1 = [5, 12, 8, 130, 44];

const found = array1.find(element => element > 10);

console.log(found);
// expected output: 12

Example 3: typescript array find

const array1 = [5, 12, 8, 130, 44];

const found = array1.find(element => element > 10);

console.log(found);
// expected output: 12

Example 4: javascript array find

// Use array.find() like this:

var myArrayOfAges = [1,4,6,8,9,13,16,21,53,78];

var result = myArrayOfAges.find(age => age >= 12);

console.log(result); // Output: 13
