You can use .some to iterate over the matcherArray with an includes test:

let myLongString = 'jkjdssfhhabf.pdf&awersds=oerefsf';
let matcherArray = ['.pdf', '.jpg'];

if (matcherArray.some(str => myLongString.includes(str))) {
  console.log('match');
} else {
  console.log('no match');
}

Another option would be to turn the matcherArray into a regular expression, with each item separated by | (alternation):

const myLongString = 'jkjdssfhhabf.pdf&awersds=oerefsf';
const matcherArray = ['.pdf', '.jpg'];
const escape = str => str.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&');
const re = new RegExp(
  matcherArray
    .map(escape)
    .join('|')
);

if (re.test(myLongString)) {
  console.log('match');
} else {
  console.log('no match');
}

Note that the escape function is there so as to escape characters with a special meaning inside a regular expression, such as . (matches any character by default, which isn't what you want here).
