Jquery how to find an Object by attribute in an Array

Question

Given I have an array of \"purpose\" objects:

//array of purpose objects:
var purposeObjects = [
    {purpose: \"daily\"},
    {purpose: \"weekly\"},
    {pu         


        

Answer 1

Javascript has a function just for that: Array.prototype.find. As example

function isBigEnough(element) {
  return element >= 15;
}

[12, 5, 8, 130, 44].find(isBigEnough); // 130

It not difficult to extends the callback to a function. However this is not compatible with IE (and partially with Edge). For a full list look at the Browser Compatibility
