### findKey
Returns the first key that satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise `undefined` is returned.
Use `Object.keys(obj)` to get all the properties of the object, `Array.find()` to test the provided function for each key-value pair. The callback receives three arguments - the value, the key and the object.
```js
const findKey = (obj, fn) => Object.keys(obj).find(key => fn(obj[key], key, obj));
```
```js
findKey(
{
barney: { age: 36, active: true },
fred: { age: 40, active: false },
pebbles: { age: 1, active: true }
},
o => o['active']
); // 'barney'
```
