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'
|
|
```
