Efficient way to get object from array based on key

Question

I have an array of objects as:

  0: {id: "1", name: "Tab1", address: "123 Street"}
  1: {id: "2", name: "Tab2", address: "456 Avenue"}
  2: {id: "3", name: "Tab3", address: "789 st"}

I want to grab a particular object from the above array based on the "name" key. For example, if I pass the key as "Tab1" it should return me:

0: {id: "1", name: "Tab1", address: "123 Street"}

I can loop through the array and get the values but wanted to know is there any simpler/efficient way to get the desired data.

Is it guaranteed that array index 0 has "Tab1", 1 has "Tab2", and so on? Is the data replaced frequently, or could the construction of an index structure be feasible? — ASDFGerte, Jul 19 '18 at 14:51

You can use Array.prototype.find like this

const searchArray = key => array.find(({name})=> {
    return name === key;
});

console.log(searchArray("Tab1"));
