How to Filter Objects by Array in JavaScript

JavaScript provides a powerful way to manipulate and filter data structures like arrays and objects. One common challenge developers face is filtering an array of objects based on an external array's elements. In this guide, we will explore a clear and efficient solution to this problem.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you are working with an array of objects that contain various properties, and you want to extract only those objects whose property values match a list of specific values. Here’s the scenario:

You have the following setup:

An array of objects, each with a value and a lang property.

An array of numbers that represents the values you wish to filter by.

The Initial Approach

Here’s a sample code snippet you might start with:

However, you noticed that this approach yields an empty array when you log myArray. Instead, you want to obtain an array that looks like this:

The Solution

The initial attempt falls short because it compares indices of the obj array with the filterNumbers array, which isn’t the right way to filter based on values.

Using filter() Method

A more efficient approach would be to utilize JavaScript's filter() method along with includes() to check for presence:

Breaking it Down

filter Method: This method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

Arrow Function: The arrow function ({ value }) => filterNumbers.includes(value) checks each object’s value property to see if it exists in the filterNumbers array.

includes Method: This method determines whether an array includes a certain value among its entries, returning true or false.

Final Output

With this implementation, you should see the desired result when logging myArray:

Conclusion

Filtering an array of objects by using values from another array can be done effortlessly with JavaScript's built-in array methods. By utilizing filter() and includes(), you can create clean and efficient code that yields the expected results. Happy coding!
