javascript search array of arrays
You can also use a trick with JSON serializing. It is short and simple, but kind of hacky.
It works, because "[0,1]" === "[0,1]"
.
Here is the working demo snippet:
Array.prototype.indexOfForArrays = function(search)
{
var searchJson = JSON.stringify(search); // "[3,566,23,79]"
var arrJson = this.map(JSON.stringify); // ["[2,6,89,45]", "[3,566,23,79]", "[434,677,9,23]"]
return arrJson.indexOf(searchJson);
};
var arr = [
[2,6,89,45],
[3,566,23,79],
[434,677,9,23]
];
document.body.innerText = arr.indexOfForArrays([3,566,23,79]);
you could create a hash.
var ar = [
[2,6,89,45],
[3,566,23,79],
[434,677,9,23]
];
var hash = {};
for(var i = 0 ; i < ar.length; i += 1) {
hash[ar[i]] = i;
}
var val = [434,677,9,23];
if(hash.hasOwnProperty(val)) {
document.write(hash[val]);
}
