check if key value exists in array javascript code example

Example 1: javascript does key exist

var person={"name":"Billy","age":20}
person.hasOwnProperty("name"); // true
person.hasOwnProperty("sex"); // false

Example 2: check if object is present in array javascript

//Use something like this:

function containsObject(obj, list) {
    var i;
    for (i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
        if (list[i] === obj) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

//In this case, containsObject(car4, carBrands) is true. Remove the carBrands.push(car4); call and it will return false instead. If you later expand to using objects to store these other car objects instead of using arrays, you could use something like this instead:

function containsObject(obj, list) {
    var x;
    for (x in list) {
        if (list.hasOwnProperty(x) && list[x] === obj) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Example 3: keys of array exist in array

function findKey($array, $keySearch)
{
    foreach ($array as $key => $item) {
        if ($key == $keySearch) {
            echo 'yes, it exists';
            return true;
        } elseif (is_array($item) && findKey($item, $keySearch)) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Example 4: react array if id is present do not add element

addPerson = (person) => {
    let filteredPerson = this.state.likes.filter(like => like.name !== person.name);
    this.setState({
      likes: [...filteredPerson, person]
    })        
  }
