So, if I have only one key to match, then something like:
var str = "foo"; let [key,val] = Object.entries(obj).find(([key,val]) => val== str); return key;
would work beautifully. But is there a way to add multiple keys if the value matches?
To give example of an object that might match the above string:
obj = { quay: "foo", key1: "blargh", yaya: "foo", idnet: "blat", blah: "foo", hahas: "blargh" }
What I want to do is return all of the “foo” keys (quay
, yaya
, and blah
) based on the matching var str
from above.
I’m sure the answer is something simple I’m overlooking.

Answer
Use filter
instead of find
and map
to remove the values.
const obj = { quay: "foo", key1: "blargh", yaya: "foo", idnet: "blat", blah: "foo", hahas: "blargh" } const str = 'foo'; const keys = Object.entries(obj).filter(([, val]) => val === str).map(([key]) => key); console.log(keys);
