arr1.forEach(function(){
 arr2.forEach(function(){
   if(some condition true){
    return; // this only skips the arr2 functionality
   }
   // rest of the code

 });
});

return only stops functionality. I want it to stop the whole arr2 iteration and continue the arr1 iteration?

UPDATE: (PS: Already know I can get a variable and make it true so the rest of the loop will iterate but wont do anything. )

break and continue gives this error Cannot determine target for 'break/continue '

Can you show the data you have and what you're trying to achieve? There's probably a better way to do this rather than nesting `forEach()` methods – StudioTime Nov 04 '19 at 08:02
You cannot - `.forEach` will iterate through all elements. If you need to stop, then you might need a `for`/`for...of` loop. – VLAZ Nov 04 '19 at 08:04

Replace `forEach` with `every` and `return true` to continue and `return false` to stop. – kemicofa ghost Nov 04 '19 at 08:17
@kemicofa can you provide a sample? – Shashan Sooriyahetti Nov 04 '19 at 08:21
@DarrenSweeney its bit complicatied show here. there are two kind of object arrays. – Shashan Sooriyahetti Nov 04 '19 at 08:22
@VLAZ thanks :) just wanted to use forEach for clean code. – Shashan Sooriyahetti Nov 04 '19 at 08:23
