Question

Is there a way i can write the following piece of code to be more generic?

var result = $.grep(myObjectArray, function(e){ 

    return e.Prop1 == 'SomeVal';

});

This is what i want to do.

A generic function that will accept myObjectArray (Object Array to filter), Prop1(Property name) and SomeVal (Value to filter) as an argument.

The problem i am facing is that i dont know how will i find the PropertyName in the object as it can be anything.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

function filterObjectArray(myObjectArray, prop1, someVal) {
    return $.grep(myObjectArray, function (e) {
        return e[prop1] === someVal;
    };
}

Note the use of the square bracket syntax for object property access.
