JavaScript move an item of an array to the front

Question

I want to check if an array contains \"role\". If it does, I want to move the \"role\" to the front of the array.

var data= [\"ema         


        

Answer 1

Using lodash _.sortBy. If the item is role, it will be sorted first, otherwise second. This works fine too if there is no role

var data = ["email", "role", "type", "name"];

var sorted = _.sortBy(data, function(item) {
  return item === 'role' ? 0 : 1;
});

console.log(sorted);
