I want to match below strings for the prefix.
customer
client
agent
If my string contains any of the above, i want to ignore.
let str = "customer_service"
if(!str.startsWith("customer") && !str.startsWith("client") && !str.startsWith("agent"))
return true;
Any easy and effective solution available? Thanks in advance.
You can test the string against a regular expression. If not match then proceed and ignore otherwise.
const regex = /^(customer|client|agent).*/;
const str = "customer_service";
if (!regex.test(str)) {
// Ignored.
// Do whatever you want to do
}
You could use a regular expression to look for words or patterns:
const strings = [
"customer_service",
"wookies",
"bananas",
"hats",
"guys named steve",
"agent_request",
"client_lunch_order",
];
// test pattern for the given words
const regex = m = /(customer|agent|client)/;
// test the given string against the pattern
const filterFn = str => !m.test(str)
// run the list through the filter
const filteredList = strings.filter(filterFn);
// display the filtered list
console.log(filteredList);
let str = 'customer_service'? WIth your code,stris simply assigned the value of a variable calledcustomer_service
