I have a variable like,
var url = "/login/user"; And I have an array like,
var x = ["login", "resetpassword", "authenticate"]; Now I need to check, whether that url string is present in an array of string. As we can see that login is present in an array but when i do x.indexOf(url), it always receive false because the field url has rest other letters also. So now how can I ingnore those letters while checking a string in an array and return true?
Use .some over the array instead:
var url = "/login/user"; var x = ["login", "resetpassword", "authenticate"]; if (x.some(str => url.includes(str))) { console.log('something in X is included in URL'); }Or, if the substring you're looking for is always between the first two slashes in the url variable, then extract that substring first, and use .includes:
var url = "/login/user"; var x = ["login", "resetpassword", "authenticate"]; var foundStr = url.split('/')[1]; if (x.includes(foundStr)) { console.log('something in X is included in URL'); }
One way is to split url with / character and than use some
var url = "/login/user"; var x = ["login", "resetpassword", "authenticate"]; let urlSplitted = url.split('/') let op = urlSplitted.some(e=> x.includes(e)) console.log(op)You could join the given words with a pipe (as or operator in regex), generate a regular expression and test against the string.
This works as long as you do not have some characters with special meanings.
var url = "/login/user", x = ["login", "resetpassword", "authenticate"]; console.log(new RegExp(x.join('|')).test(url));/login|resetpassword|authenticate/.test("/login/user") - clever"/logged/authenticateduser"
