How To Create Arraylist In Jquery

In this tutorial, I show how you can check whether an Array already contains a specific value or not.

This requires within the program in some cases like –

  • Stop new value from insert if it already exists in an Array.
  • Execute script when the Array contains a particular value.
  • etc.

If you are familiar with PHP, where you can use the in_array() function to search value in the Array, and it returns the Boolean value ( TRUE or FALSE ).

There are inbuilt methods in jQuery and JavaScript that return the index position of the value which you can use for the search.

Check if value exists in Array – jQuery and JavaScript


Contents

  1. Loop
  2. Array.indexOf()
  3. jQuery.inArray()
  4. Conclusion

1. Loop

First start with a loop.

You can easily find the value within an Array by traversing the Array and check for the value.

Completed Code

<script type='text/javascript'>  var names_arr = ['sonarika','yogesh','sumit','sonarika','vijay','anil'];   function checkValue(value,arr){   var status = 'Not exist';     for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++){     var name = arr[i];     if(name == value){       status = 'Exist';       break;     }   }    return status; } console.log('status : ' + checkValue('sonarika', names_arr) ); console.log('status : ' + checkValue('mayank', names_arr) ); </script>

Output

status : Exist status : Not exist

For making your searching process simpler you can use jQuery and JavaScript inbuilt function.


2. Array.indexOf()

It is a JavaScript method that returns the index position of the value. If it doesn't find the value then it returns -1.

It works both with string and an Array.

Syntax –

value-from-which-search.indexOf( search-value );

Completed Code

<script type='text/javascript'> var names_arr = ['sonarika','yogesh','sumit','vijay','anil']; var text = "Sonarika Bhadoria";  // Search in Array console.log( 'Index : ' + names_arr.indexOf('sumit') ); console.log( 'Index : ' + names_arr.indexOf('vishal') );  // Search in String console.log( 'Index : ' + text.indexOf('a') );  </script>

Output

Index : 2 Index : -1 Index : 3

3. jQuery.inArray()

It is a jQuery function that returns the index position of the value when it finds the value otherwise -1.

It also works with string and an Array.

Syntax –

jQuery.inArray( search-value, value-from-which-search);

Example

<script type='text/javascript'> var names_arr = ['sonarika','yogesh','sumit','vijay','anil']; var text = "Yogesh singh"; // Searching in Array console.log( 'Index : ' + jQuery.inArray('sumit', names_arr) ); console.log( 'Index : ' + jQuery.inArray('vishal', names_arr ));   // Searching in String variable console.log( 'Index : ' + jQuery.inArray( "e", text ));  </script>

Output

Index : 2 Index : -1 Index : 3

4. Conclusion

I discussed some of the methods which you can use to search your value in the existing Array. Using this you can remove or replace the duplicate values.

If you are using jQuery within your project then you can simply go with inArray() method otherwise you can indexOf() method.

If you found this tutorial helpful then don't forget to share.
