About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

anyInBy

Test whether at least one property in an object passes a test implemented by a predicate function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-any-in-by

Usage

var anyInBy = require( '@stdlib/utils-any-in-by' );

anyInBy( object, predicate[, thisArg ] )

Tests whether at least one property in an object passes a test implemented by a predicate function.

function isNegative( value ) {
    return ( value < 0 );
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2,
    'c': -1
};

var bool = anyInBy( obj, isNegative );
// returns true

If a predicate function returns a truthy value, the function immediately returns true.

function isPositive( value ) {
    if ( value < 0 ) {
        throw new Error( 'should never reach this line' );
    }
    return ( value > 0 );
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': -2,
    'c': 3
};

var bool = anyInBy( obj, isPositive );
// returns true

The invoked function is provided three arguments:

• value: property value
• key: property key
• object: input object

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function sum( value ) {
    this.sum += value;
    this.count += 1;
    return ( value < 0 );
}

var obj = {
    'a': 1,
    'b': 2,
    'c': 3,
    'd': -4
};

var context = {
    'sum': 0,
    'count': 0
};

var bool = anyInBy( obj, sum, context );
// returns true

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 0.5

Notes

• The obj object may contain own properties as well as inherited properties from its prototype chain.

• If provided an empty object, the function returns false.

  function alwaysTrue() {
      return true;
  }
  var bool = anyInBy( {}, alwaysTrue );
  // returns false

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var anyInBy = require( '@stdlib/utils-any-in-by' );

function threshold( value ) {
    return ( value > 0.95 );
}

var bool;
var obj = {};
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    obj[i] = randu();
}

bool = anyInBy( obj, threshold );
// returns <boolean>
