javascript - Performing deep search within object without using nested loops (lodash) -

i trying check if value found inside of array contained deep in object without having use multiple & in loops. want know if there elegant way achieve this. first thought use lodash's _.includes, doesn't seem iterate on array in sub-object.

//collection (i'm trying reach person_id in people array) var tables = {  12: {   table_info: {    name: 'test'   },   people: [ //i want check inside of array    {     person_id: 123    },    {     person_id: 233    }   ]  }  //what i'm looping on match id's var people = [  {   name: 'john doe',   id: 123  },  {   name: 'jane doe',   id: 245  } ]  //loop (var = 0; < people.length; i++)  {   if (_.includes(tables, people[i].id)) //would love simple solution   {     console.log("match");   }   else   {     console.log("no match");   } } 

why not create own function , use if know data structure?

//collection  var tables = {   12: {      table_info: {        name: 'test'      },      people: [       {        person_id: 123       },       {        person_id: 233       }      ]    }  };    var peopletofind = [   {    name: 'john doe',    id: 123   },   {    name: 'jane doe',    id: 245   }  ];    function findpeopleintables(people, tables){    let peoplefound = [];    (var key in tables) {      // make sure doesnt come prototype      if (tables.hasownproperty(key)) {        tables[key].people.foreach(function (person){            peopletofind.foreach(function(persontofind){              if (person.person_id === persontofind.id){                peoplefound.push(persontofind);              }            });          });      }    }    return peoplefound;  }    let foundpeople = findpeopleintables(peopletofind, tables);  foundpeople.foreach(function(person){    console.log('found "' + person.name + '" id ' + person.id);  });

also can search in objects using recursive methods :

function findvalueinobject(value , object){      let type = typeof(object);      if(type !== 'string'  && type !== 'number'  && type !== 'boolean'){          (var key in object) {              // make sure doesnt come prototype              if (object.hasownproperty(key)) {                  if( findvalueinobject(value , object[key])){                      return true;                  }              }          }      }      if(object === value){          return true;      }      return false;  }      //collection  var tables = {   12: {      table_info: {        name: 'test'      },      people: [       {        person_id: 123       },       {        person_id: 233       }      ]    }  };    var peopletofind = [   {    name: 'john doe',    id: 123   },   {    name: 'jane doe',    id: 245   }  ];    peopletofind.foreach(function(person){      if(findvalueinobject(person.id, tables)){          console.log('matched: ' + person.id + ' '+ person.name);      }  });
