Finding and changing array's object

[Costegillio]

Greetings!

I've got array with objects like this: var elsArray = new Sugar.Array( [{a:'1', b:'2'}, {a:'3', b:'4'}, {a:'5', b:'6'}] ); I need to find object with a = 1 and change it's value.

For now i'm using custom function: function findIndexByVal(arr, key, val){ var index = -1; arr.forEach(function(el, i) { var getVal = el[key]; if (getVal == val) { index = i; } }); return index; }

Like this: var getIndex = findIndexByVal(elsArray, "a", "1"); bookArray["raw"][getIndex].a = "test";

Is there easyer way to find and change value?

Sorry this is probably too late to be of use to you, but this isn't the kind of thing there's an easy shortcut for... the simplest way is probably just:

var obj = elsArray.find(obj => obj.a === '1');
if (obj.raw) {
  obj.raw.a = 'test';
}

as a side note if you know the index there is something of a shortcut:

Object.set(elsArray, '0.a', 'test');

I'll close this for now but let me know if you have any questions.

Edit: should be find not findIndex.
