How to check if a value exists in an object using JavaScript

Question

I have an object in JavaScript:

var obj = {
   "a": "test1",
   "b": "test2"
}

How do I check that te

You can use Object.values():

The Object.values() method returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property values, in the same order as that provided by a for...in loop (the difference being that a for-in loop enumerates properties in the prototype chain as well).

and then use the indexOf() method:

The indexOf() method returns the first index at which a given element can be found in the array, or -1 if it is not present.

For example:

Object.values(obj).indexOf("test`") >= 0

A more verbose example is below:

var obj = {
  "a": "test1",
  "b": "test2"
}


console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test1")); // 0
console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test2")); // 1

console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test1") >= 0); // true
console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test2") >= 0); // true 

console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test10")); // -1
console.log(Object.values(obj).indexOf("test10") >= 0); // false
