Check if picklist value contains a string within a function

Question

I filter a list of records based on a check if fieldname value equals selected picklistvalue. My fieldname value can contain more values for example: value1;value2;value3. I want to check if picklistvalue is for example value2 that the record is selected(equal).

So for example:

 i=1;

checkCheckboxOnOff =[{"fieldName":"Categorie__c","picklistValue":"value2"}]

fieldName= value1;value2;value3

picklistvalue=value2



 serverlist= [ {"Id":"123",Categorie__c":"value1,value2,value3"},  {"Id":"124",Categorie__c":"value1"},  {"Id":"125",Categorie__c":"value3"}]

My filter is as follows:

var opleidingfilter = serverList.filter(function(item) { return item[checkCheckboxOnOff[i].fieldName] == checkCheckboxOnOff[i].picklistValue});

I tried:

var opleidingfilter = serverList.filter(function(item) { return str.includes(item[checkCheckboxOnOff[i].fieldName]) == checkCheckboxOnOff[i].picklistValue});



var opleidingfilter = serverList.filter(function(item) { return item[checkCheckboxOnOff[i].fieldName].indexOf(checkCheckboxOnOff[i].picklistValue) == -1 });

@JonasW. a string contains method see:https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_includes.asp — Thomas, Mar 26 '18 at 17:08
It's not clear what you're asking. How about you provide the following: the value of `serverList`, `checkCheckboxOnOff`, and `i` at the moment you run this filter. In other words, provide a [mcve]. — Heretic Monkey, Mar 26 '18 at 17:45
Here's the thing. That's not verifiable, because it fails to pass basic syntax checking. Why don't you take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/q/1789945/215552 and see if that answers your question. Note that `indexOf` returns -1 if the string argument is *not* found in the string. — Heretic Monkey, Mar 26 '18 at 18:04

I managed to get the following working:

var opleidingfilter = serverList.filter(function(item) { return (item[checkCheckboxOnOff[i].fieldName]).includes(checkCheckboxOnOff[i].picklistValue)});
