JS getting value of object with key starting with a string
You could use find
on the entries
of the object. IF there's a key which starts with, access the index at 1
to get the value.
Object.entries(o).find(([k,v]) => k.startsWith(part))?.[1]
Here's a snippet:
const getValue = (part, o) => Object.entries(o).find(([k, v]) => k.startsWith(part))?.[1]
const obj = {
"key123": 1,
"anotherkey": 2
}
console.log(
getValue('key', obj),
getValue('ano', obj),
getValue('something', obj),
)
You can create a helper function
function findValueByPrefix(object, prefix) {
for (var property in object) {
if (object.hasOwnProperty(property) &&
property.toString().startsWith(prefix)) {
return object[property];
}
}
}
findValueByPrefix(obj, "key1");
As Kenney commented, the above function will return first match.
