Find a value in an array of objects in Javascript [duplicate]

Answer 1

One line answer. You can use filter function to get result.

var array = [
    { name:"string 1", value:"this", other: "that" },
    { name:"string 2", value:"this", other: "that" }
];

console.log(array.filter(function(arr){return arr.name == 'string 1'})[0]);
