Find by key deep in a nested array

Question

Let\'s say I have an object:

[
    {
        \'title\': \"some title\"
        \'channel_id\':\'123we\'
        \'options\': [
                    {
                 


        

Answer 1

Another recursive solution, that works for arrays/lists and objects, or a mixture of both:

function deepSearchByKey(object, originalKey, matches = []) {

    if(object != null) {
        if(Array.isArray(object)) {
            for(let arrayItem of object) {
                deepSearchByKey(arrayItem, originalKey, matches);
            }
        } else if(typeof object == 'object') {

            for(let key of Object.keys(object)) {
                if(key == originalKey) {
                    matches.push(object);
                } else {
                    deepSearchByKey(object[key], originalKey, matches);
                }

            }

        }
    }


    return matches;
}

usage:

let result = deepSearchByKey(arrayOrObject, 'key'); // returns an array with the objects containing the key
