Finding items from and array of obects based on a selected item value in JS

I have a an array like this:

var array = [
    { name:"string123", value:"this", other: "that" },
    { name:"string2", value:"this", other: "that" },
    { name:"string12", value:"ths", other: "that" },
];

And now I have a string like ‘string12’. Now with this string the output I want is to find the items that contains this string which is like:

var array = [
    { name:"string123", value:"this", other: "that" },
    { name:"string12", value:"ths", other: "that" },
];

Here’s what I have tried:

const search = (nameKey, myArray) => {
  for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
    var newArr = [];
    if (myArray[i].name.slice(0, nameKey.length + 1) === nameKey) {
      newArr.push(myArray[i]);
    }
    return newArr;
  }

}

var array = [
  { name:"string123", value:"this", other: "that" },
  { name:"string2", value:"this", other: "that" },
  { name:"string12", value:"ths", other: "that" },
];

var resultObject = search("string12", array);
console.log(resultObject);

But my solution is returning blank array. Where am i going wrong with this?

>Solution :

The following things went wrong in your implementation:

1. Move initialization outside the for loop.
2. You don’t need +1 when doing .slice().
3. Return statement return newArr should be outside the for loop.

const search = (nameKey, myArray) => {
    var newArr = [];
  
  for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
    if (myArray[i].name.slice(0, nameKey.length) === nameKey) {
      newArr.push(myArray[i]);
    }
  }
    return newArr;
}

var array = [
  { name:"string123", value:"this", other: "that" },
  { name:"string2", value:"this", other: "that" },
  { name:"string12", value:"ths", other: "that" },
];

var resultObject = search("string12", array);
console.log(resultObject);
