javascript - Jquery, checking if a value exists in array or not





I believe this question will be fairly easy for the ones who played
around with java script /
jquery.



var arr = new
Array();


$.map(arr, function() {
if (this.id
== productID) {
this.price = productPrice;
}else {

arr.push({id: productID, price: productPrice})

}
}


I guess
the code above explains what I want in really simple way. I would imagine this $.map
would work like this but unfortunately I couldn't get results with
this.




What is the most simple and
elegant way to do this? Do I truly go through all array just to find if a key's value is
there or not?



Does Jquery has something like
isset($array['key'])?



EDIT



I
tried to use inArray but it keeps adding object to array even if there is a
match.



if ( $.inArray(productID,
arr) > -1) {

var number = $.inArray(productID, arr);

orderInfo[number].price = parseFloat(productPrice);
}else {

orderInfo.push({id:productID,
price:parseFloat(productPrice)});
}


Answer




If you want to do it using
.map() or just want to know how it works you can do it like
this:



var
added=false;

$.map(arr, function(elementOfArray, indexInArray)
{
if (elementOfArray.id == productID) {
elementOfArray.price =
productPrice;
added = true;
}
}
if (!added)
{
arr.push({id: productID, price:
productPrice})
}



The
function handles each element separately. The .inArray()
proposed in other answers is probably the more efficient way to do
it.
