Question

Is there any javascript function to search an element in the array of objects.
We have sort function in javascript to sort an array of objects.

[
    {name:'a', value:'1'},
    {name:'b', value:'2'},
    {name:'c', value:'3'},
    {name:'d', value:'4'},
    {name:'e', value:'5'}
]

You could use the ES5 Array.prototype.filter method (MDN article). For example, to reduce the array to only those objects with a name property of “a”:

var result = yourArray.filter(function(elem) {
    return elem.name === "a";
});
console.log(result); //[Object -> name: 'a', value: '1']

This is not supported by older browsers, but there are plenty of polyfills available for it.
