Question

I have a JSON file containing some data I d like to access on my AngularJS website. Now what I want is to get only one object from the array. So I d like for example Item wi

Answer 1

The simple way to get (one) element from array by id:

The find() method returns the value of the first element in the array that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise undefined is returned.

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

var integers = [12, 5, 8, 130, 160, 44];
integers.find(isBigEnough); // 130  only one element - first

you don't need to use filter() and catch first element xx.filter()[0] like in comments above

The same for objects in array

var foo = {
"results" : [{
    "id" : 1,
    "name" : "Test"
}, {
    "id" : 2,
    "name" : "Beispiel"
}, {
    "id" : 3,
    "name" : "Sample"
}
]};

var secondElement = foo.results.find(function(item){
    return item.id == 2;
});

var json = JSON.stringify(secondElement);
console.log(json);

Of course if you have multiple id then use filter() method to get all objects. Cheers

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

var integers = [12, 5, 8, 130, 160, 44];
integers.find(isBigEnough); // 130  only one element - first

var foo = {
"results" : [{
    "id" : 1,
    "name" : "Test"
}, {
    "id" : 2,
    "name" : "Beispiel"
}, {
    "id" : 3,
    "name" : "Sample"
}
]};

var secondElement = foo.results.find(function(item){
    return item.id == 2;
});

var json = JSON.stringify(secondElement);
console.log(json);
