Javascript .includes method on an array within an object

January 12, 2023

I want to filter through an array and retrieve items if their filters match. However it does not work.

const wanted=["apple"]
const items = [
  {
    "name": "Iphone"
    "filters": ["phone","apple"]
  },
  {
    "name": "samsung12"
    "filters": ["samsung12","samsung"]
  },
]

let desiredList = items.filter((val) => wanted.includes(val.filters));

Any ideas on how i could get this to work?

>Solution :

You would need to use some to check if any of the filters contains a value in wanted:

const wanted = ["apple"]
const items = [{
  "name": "Iphone",
  "filters": ["phone", "apple"]
}, {
  "name": "samsung12",
  "filters": ["samsung12", "samsung"]
}];

let desiredList = items.filter((item) => item.filters.some((f) => wanted.includes(f)));

console.log(desiredList);
