Check if a value is contained in an array and return the results

Question

I have array = ["Michael","Abraham", "Gabriel","Festus", "Ahab"] how can I return elements in the array containing myValue = "ab" which should be (Abraham,Gabriel,Ahab), I understand "indexOf" checks for the complete match.

Answer 1

You can accomplish this using the filter method of array, please reference the code snippet below:

const array = ["Michael","Abigail","Gabriel","Festus", "Ahab"]
console.log(array.filter((name) => name.indexOf("ab") > -1));
