Check if an array contains any element of another array in JavaScript

Question

I have a target array [\"apple\",\"banana\",\"orange\"], and I want to check if other arrays contain any one of the target array elements.

For example:

Answer 1

With underscorejs

var a1 = [1,2,3];
var a2 = [1,2];

_.every(a1, function(e){ return _.include(a2, e); } ); //=> false
_.every(a2, function(e){ return _.include(a1, e); } ); //=> true
