Lodash _.matchesProperty() Method

0 0 1 minute read

Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc. The _.matchesProperty method creates a function that performs a partial deep comparison between the value at path of a given object to srcValue, returning true if the object value is equivalent, else false.

Syntax:

_.matchesProperty(path, srcValue)

Parameters : This method accepts two parameter as mentioned above and described below:

path: [Array/string] The path of the property to get.
srcValue: The value to match with.

Returns: [Function] It returns the new specified function.

Example 1:

// Requiring the lodash library   
const _ = require("lodash");     
   
// Using _.matchesProperty() method 
var geek = [ 
  { 'java': 3, 'python': 5, 'js': 7 }, 
  { 'java': 4, 'python': 2, 'js': 6 } 
]; 
    
let gfg = _.find(geek, _.matchesProperty('java', 4)); 
   
// Storing the Result 
console.log(gfg)

Note: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library in the file.

Output:

Object {java: 4, js: 6, python: 2}

Example 2:

// Requiring the lodash library   
const _ = require("lodash");     
   
// Using _.matchesProperty() method 
var geek = [ 
  { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 }, 
  { 'a': 4, 'b': 5, 'c': 6 }, 
   { 'a': 8, 'b': 7, 'c': 9 } 
]; 
    
gfg = _._.find(geek, _.matchesProperty('a', 4)); 
  
// Storing the Result 
console.log(gfg)
