title: findKey
tags: object,intermediate
---
Finds 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.prototype.find()` to test each key-value pair using `fn`.
- 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 }
},
x => x['active']
); // 'barney'
```
