js check if string in array code example

Example 1: javascript test if it is an array

// If you want to test if a variable (object) is an instance of 
// an array. You can use the Array.isArray(varName) method
// this method takes one argument, the variable or object you want to test
// and returns true, if the argument is an array 
// or false, if the argument is not an array

if (Array.isArray(object)) {
	// is true
} else {
	// is false
}

Array.isArray([1, 2, 3, 4]); // Returns true
Array.isArray(4); // returns false
// this could be used for flattening an array of arrays

Example 2: javascript check if in array

var extensions = ["image/jpeg","image/png","image/gif"];          
if(extensions.indexOf("myfiletype") === -1){
	alert("Image must be .png, .jpg or .gif");
}

Example 3: see if array contains array javascript

const found = arr1.some(r=> arr2.indexOf(r) >= 0)

Example 4: javascript check if array is in array

var array = [1, 3],
    prizes = [[1, 3], [1, 4]],
    includes = prizes.some(a => array.every((v, i) => v === a[i]));

console.log(includes);

Example 5: check items in array javascript

function checkAllEven(arr) {
  return arr.every(function(x){
	 return	x % 2 === 0
	})
}

//using "every" to check every item in array.

Example 6: check if array does not contain string js

function checkInput(input, words) {
 return words.some(word => input.toLowerCase().includes(word.toLowerCase()));
}

console.log(checkInput('"Definitely," he said in a matter-of-fact tone.', 
["matter", "definitely"]));
