[removed] Accessing Property of Objects Inside an Array

Question

How can I get the integer \"100\" from dataset1 [below]?

    var dataset1 = [ 
            {video_name: \"Apples\", video_views: 100},
            {video_name: \"Or

If you want video views based on video name, you'll need to loop through the array and find it.

var dataset1 = [ 
    {video_name: "Apples", video_views: 100},
    {video_name: "Oranges", video_views: 35},
    {video_name: "Grapes", video_views: 20},
    {video_name: "Avocados", video_views: 85},
    {video_name: "Tomatoes", video_views: 60}
]

var searchCriteria = {video_name: "Apples"};
var searchResult;

//This loop sets searchResult to the LAST element in the set that meets the criteria

dataset1.forEach(function(obj){
    var matches = true;
    for (var key in searchCriteria){
        if (searchCriteria[key] !== obj[key]){
            matches = false;
        }
    }
    if (matches){
        searchResult = obj;
    }
});

console.log(searchResult);

or you could use a library like Underscore to do the same thing, but without having to look at the loop.
