Find whether Value in Object exists within an array

I am trying to find whether the value roomTypeFilter exists within an Object inside an array. I then want to perform conditional statements depending whether the value roomTypeFilter exists or not.

Below is my code

function includes(k) {
    for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
        if (this[i] === k || (this[i] !== this[i] && k !== k)) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;

}
var dayValue = this.ui.dayConstraintList.val();
var arr = [courseTemplate.get('dayConstraints')[dayValue]];
console.log(arr);
arr.includes = includes;
console.log(arr.includes('roomTypeFilter'));

The first console.log returns an Object inside an array.

Object inside Array

The second console.log returns false, in this case as roomTypeFilter exists inside the Object I want to return 'true' but I am unsure how to do so, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could refactor your includes function to use

array.prototype.some

some() executes the callback function once for each element present in the array until it finds one where callback returns a truthy value... If such an element is found, some() immediately returns true.

Here is an example.

var arr = [
  {
    roomTypeFilter: {
      name: 'foo'
    }
  },
  ["roomTypeFilter", "foo"],
  "roomTypeFilter foo"
]

function includes(arr, k) {
  return arr.some(function(item) {
    return item === Object(item) && item.hasOwnProperty(k);
  })
}

console.log("Does arr includes roomTypeFilter ? - ", includes(arr, 'roomTypeFilter'))

You can use hasOwnProperty method to check if object contains roomTypeFilter property.

...
if (this[i].hasOwnProperty(k)) {
    ...
}
...

Instead of using includes, use hasOwnProperty. Take a look here for more information on the hasOwnProperty. It's pretty self-explanatory from its name - it essentially returns a boolean on whether or not the object has a property. I.e., in your case, you would use:

arr[0].hasOwnProperty('roomTypeFilter');
