indexOf method in an object array?

Question

What\'s the best method to get the index of an array which contains objects?

Imagine this scenario:

var hello = {
    hello: \'world\',
    foo: \'ba

I like Pablo's answer, but Array#indexOf and Array#map don't work on all browsers. Underscore will use native code if it's available, but has fallbacks as well. Plus it has the pluck method for doing exactly what Pablo's anonymous map method does.

var idx = _.chain(myArray).pluck("hello").indexOf("Stevie").value();
