How do I pass an extra parameter to the callback function in Javascript .filter() method?

Question

I want to compare each string in an Array with a given string. My current implementation is:

function startsWith(element) {
    return element.indexOf(wordTo

based on oddRaven answer and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter

i did it 2 different way . 1) using function way . 2) using inline way .

//Here  is sample codes : 

var templateList   = [
{ name: "name1", index: 1, dimension: 1 }  ,
{ name: "name2", index: 2, dimension: 1 }  ,
{ name: "name3", index: 3, dimension: 2 }  ];


//Method 1) using function : 

function getDimension1(obj) {
                if (obj.dimension === 1) // This is hardcoded . 
                    return true;
                else return false;
            } 

var tl = templateList.filter(getDimension1); // it will return 2 results. 1st and 2nd objects. 
console.log(tl) ;

//Method 2) using inline way 
var tl3 = templateList.filter(element => element.index === 1 || element.dimension === 2  ); 
// it will return 1st and 3rd objects 
console.log(tl3) ;
