Need help on searching for an object using Javascript

Question

I am trying to search with the word from the list of objects available in an array and it is available in all the objects then i should print a message as "Matched"

var objects = [
  {
    "foo" : "shaik",
    "bar" : "sit"
  },
  {
    "foo" : "lorem",
    "bar" : "ipsum"
  },
  {
    "foo" : "dolor",
    "bar" : "shaik"
  }
];

var results = [];

var toSearch = "shaik";

for(var i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {
  for(key in objects[i]) {
    if(objects[i][key].indexOf(toSearch)!=-1) {
      results.push(objects[i]);
    }
  }
}

gs.log(JSON.stringify(results));

Output:

*** Script: [{"foo":"shaik","bar":"sit"},{"foo":"dolor","bar":"shaik"}]

As of now with the above script i am able to display the matched objects but how to check like if it is available in all the objects then display Matched as result

Does this answer your question? JS search in object values

User every method to check. If the search word in exist all objects (any of the keys), Then print 'Matched'.

var objects = [
  {
    foo: "shaik",
    bar: "sit"
  },
  {
    random: "shaik",
    temp: "ipsum",
    some: "hello"
    
  },
  {
    foo: "dolor",
    bar: "shaik"
  }
];

var results = [];

var toSearch = "shaik";

if (objects.every((obj) => Object.values(obj).includes(toSearch))) {
  console.log("Matched");
} else {
  console.log("Not Matched");
}

@Abdul, you need only result "Matched" or not right?

Abdul Azeez Over a year ago

Yes, but as per your code we are hard coding to see 2 objects, i may n number objects for an example i have given 2 here

@AbdulAzeez, you mean more props other than foo, bar? I just updated answer for any number properties. this should work.

This should do.

var objects = [
  {
    "foo" : "shaik",
    "bar" : "sit"
  },
  {
    "foo" : "lorem",
    "bar" : "ipsum"
  },
  {
    "foo" : "dolor",
    "bar" : "shaik"
  }
];

var results = [];

var toSearch = "shaik";

for(var i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {
  
    if(!(objects[i]['foo']==toSearch || objects[i]['bar']==toSearch)) {
      results.push(objects[i]);
  
  }
}

console.log(results);
