Search value in object

I have following object im not sure how to proceed.

Object image

How can I go through all objects and select the content array and search for a value x. And when the value x is in the object I need to get the object title from the object where the value was found.

Can anyone give me a hint how I can solve this problem?

you can use for...in to iterate over the object and indexOf() to check if a key exists in the array content. something like this:

function searchVal(x){
     for(var key in obj){
         if(obj[key].hasOwnProperty('content') && obj[key].content.includes(x))
             return key;
     }
}

let name = Object.values( obj /*your main object*/ )
       .find( obj => obj.content.includes(x) )
       .name;

You could find the first object in the Objects values of your main obj, that has a property content which includes x, then get the name of that object.

You can use for...in to iterate the object keys, then a regular for loop to check the content array for your specific value:

function findTitle(x) {
    for (var key in obj) {
        for (var i = 0; i < obj[key].content.length; i++) {
            if (obj[key].content[i] === x) {
                return key;
            }
        }
    }
}
