I am trying to filter a large multi dimensional array, I know I can re build the array but I was wondering if there was a way of me filtering this array based on if the key “d” contains “d3.1”
const arr = [ {a:"a1",b:"b1",c:[{d:"d1.1",e:"e1.1"},{d:"d1.2",e:"e1.2"}]}, {a:"a2",b:"b2",c:[{d:"d2.1",e:"e2.1"},{d:"d2.2",e:"e2.2"}]}, {a:"a3",b:"b3",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]}, {a:"a4",b:"b4",c:[{d:"d4.1",e:"e4.1"},{d:"d4.2",e:"e4.2"}]}, {a:"a1",b:"b1",c:[{d:"d1.1",e:"e1.1"},{d:"d3.1",e:"e1.2"}]}, {a:"a5",b:"b5",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]} ]
I have tried using .some and .filter but as it’s an object within an array of objects I can’t seem to get it to work.
My required output would be to have all objects where d contains “d3.1” for example:
output:
[ {a:"a3",b:"b3",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]}, {a:"a1",b:"b1",c:[{d:"d1.1",e:"e1.1"},{d:"d3.1",e:"e1.2"}]}, {a:"a5",b:"b5",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]} ]

Here is a quick solution:
const arr = [ {a:"a1",b:"b1",c:[{d:"d1.1",e:"e1.1"},{d:"d1.2",e:"e1.2"}]}, {a:"a2",b:"b2",c:[{d:"d2.1",e:"e2.1"},{d:"d2.2",e:"e2.2"}]}, {a:"a3",b:"b3",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]}, {a:"a4",b:"b4",c:[{d:"d4.1",e:"e4.1"},{d:"d4.2",e:"e4.2"}]}, {a:"a1",b:"b1",c:[{d:"d1.1",e:"e1.1"},{d:"d3.1",e:"e1.2"}]}, {a:"a5",b:"b5",c:[{d:"d3.1",e:"e3.1"},{d:"d3.2",e:"e3.2"}]} ] console.log(arr.filter(el => JSON.stringify(el).includes("d3.1")))
