indexOf method in an object array?

Question

What\'s the best method to get the index of an array which contains objects?

Imagine this scenario:

var hello = {
    hello: \'world\',
    foo: \'ba         


        

Answer 1

Brief

myArray.indexOf('stevie','hello')

Use Cases :

  /*****NORMAL****/  
[2,4,5].indexOf(4) ;//OUTPUT 1
 /****COMPLEX*****/
 [{slm:2},{slm:4},{slm:5}].indexOf(4,'slm');//OUTPUT 1
 //OR
 [{slm:2},{slm:4},{slm:5}].indexOf(4,function(e,i){
   return e.slm;
});//OUTPUT 1
/***MORE Complex**/
[{slm:{salat:2}},{slm:{salat:4}},{slm:{salat:5}}].indexOf(4,function(e,i){
   return e.slm.salat;
});//OUTPUT 1

API :

    Array.prototype.indexOfOld=Array.prototype.indexOf

    Array.prototype.indexOf=function(e,fn){
      if(!fn){return this.indexOfOld(e)}
      else{ 
       if(typeof fn ==='string'){var att=fn;fn=function(e){return e[att];}}
        return this.map(fn).indexOfOld(e);
      }
    };
