Question

I have an array which looks looks like this –

     list = [{"doc":{"id": "123", "name":"abc"}}, {"doc":{"id": "345", "name":"xyz"}},{"doc":{"id": "123", "name":"str"}}]

How can I use the _.each method to retrieve the doc object with id =”123″ ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Read up on how jQuery.each handles break;

var object_with_id_123;
$.each(list, function(key, val){
  if (val.doc.id == "123") {
    object_with_id_123 = val;
    return false; // break;
  }

  return true; // continue; - just to satisfy jsLint
});
console.log(object_with_id_123);
