Javascript- Matching values from array to substring of variable

Question

I\'m trying to match values from an array to a variable string. So if, for example, I have an array and a variable :

var array = [\'Potato\', \'Cheese\', \'Bikin         


        

Answer 1

Try this. You have to loop the array and match array elements with the given string

 var array = ['Potato', 'Cheese', 'Bikini', 'Truck', 'Express'];
        var something = 'Potato Thief';


        for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { 

            if(something.search(array[i]) == 0){
                console.log(true);
            }else{
                console.log(false);
            }
        }   

Answer 2

you don't need an if statement for it

return array.indexOf(something)!=-1

Answer 3

I would do this like as follows;

var array = ['Potato', 'Cheese', 'Bikini', 'Truck', 'Express'],
something = 'Potato Thief',
     test = array.some(e => something.includes(e));
console.log(test)
