Altering specific field value in an object array Angular 4

Ive a class like this

class security
{
 public id:number;
 public name:string;
}

Then I have an array of security as follows

let s:security[]=[{id:1,name:'Alex'},{id:2,name:'John'},{id:3,name:'Philip'},{id:4,name:'Mark'},{id:5,name:'Thomas'}];

So a function if I pass the value 0, it will change all names of the array as empty string. If I pass an ID, name should change for that specific ID only.

What I tried was

var id=1;
let s2:security[]=s.find(x=>x.id==id);

Then I have to loop through s2 and change the values. But I guess for both the case rather than looping we can do that change all something like select method in linq

So how can we change object array values for all object or selected without using loop

It is not possible to do operations on several elements of an array (array of objects in your case) without having a loop. As a suggestion, you can use javascript's for...of loop if you do not use any library.

for (var security of s) {
  console.log(security);
  // do your operation here
}

The find does not return an array, so s2 is an object. You could just do:

s2.name = '';

However, if you need to change all values (in vanilla js) you have to interate the array.

s.forEach(item => item.name = '');
