Finding thing in object using another value in a object-CodePudding

I have a json that, for example lets say looks like this:

{
  {
  "name":"Foo"
  "nickname":"Lorem Ipsum"
  },
  {
  "name":"Bar"
  "nickname":"Dolor Sit"
  }
}

Now, i want to find the nickname of something using the name to find it. Is this possible in JavaScript?

CodePudding user response：

Given the input should be corrected in a way pointed out in my comment to be a proper and correct JSON, this function will serve the purpose.

function findByName(name) {
  const i = [{
      "name": "Foo",
      "nickname": "Lorem Ipsum"
    },
    {
      "name": "Bar",
      "nickname": "Dolor Sit"
    }
  ]
  
  return i.find(e => e.name === name).nickname;
}

const res = findByName("Foo"); // ==> "Lorem Ipsum"
console.log(res);
