Meaning of arrayFirst

Question

User-1350042179 posted

Hi

I dont know the interpretation of:

   var match = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.Prop_GridControl.Prop_SelectedItems(), function (item) {
                return "ESPE0001" != item.IdEstado;
            });
            return match === undefined || match === null;

In the code:

self.Trigger_SeleccionGrilla = ko.observable();
    self.Comp_PuedeEliminar = ko.computed(function () {
        self.Trigger_SeleccionGrilla();
        var hasSelection = self.Prop_GridControl.Prop_SelectedItems().length > 0;
        if (hasSelection) {
            var match = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.Prop_GridControl.Prop_SelectedItems(), function (item) {
                return "ESPE0001" != item.IdEstado;
            });
            return match === undefined || match === null;
        } else {
            return false;
        }        
    }, self);

Hi,

I made a search and it seems to just return the first element that matches a condition (ie here for which "ESPE0001" != item.IdEstado is true).

I tried to see if you could find this in the doc but according to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/knockoutjs/KpB3SBqg5iI it seems ko.utils is supposed to be for internal use.

Hi neoaguil17,

According to your code, arrayFirst will execute a function——

function (item) {
    return "ESPE0001" != item.IdEstado;
}

—— for each 'item' in self.Prop_GridControl.Prop_SelectedItems() array. Then return the first item, the function evaluation of which is true.

Then if there is no such an item, return true.

For more details, please refer to this article.
