Report

The some() method checks if any array elements pass a test provided as a callback function, returning true if any do and false if none do. It does not execute the function for empty elements or alter the original array.

Syntax

arr.some(callback(element,index,array),thisArg);

Parameters

  • callback: This parameter holds the function to be called for each element of the array.
    • element: The parameter holds the value of the elements being processed currently.
    • index: This parameter is optional, it holds the index of the currentValue element in the array starting from 0.
    • array: This parameter is optional, it holds the complete array on which Array.every is called.
  • thisArg: This parameter is optional, it holds the context to be passed as this is to be used while executing the callback function. If the context is passed, it will be used like this for each invocation of the callback function, otherwise undefined is used as default.

Return value

Returns true if any of the array elements pass the test, otherwise false.

Example: In this example the Function checkAvailability checks if a value exists in an array using some(). Function func tests checkAvailability to see if 2 and 87 exist in the array.

JavaScript 
function checkAvailability(arr, val) {     return arr.some(function (arrVal) {         return val === arrVal;     }); } function func() {     // Original function     let arr = [2, 5, 8, 1, 4];      // Checking for condition     console.log(checkAvailability(arr, 2));     console.log(checkAvailability(arr, 87)); } func();

Output
true false

Example : In this example the Function isGreaterThan5 checks if any element in an array is greater than 5. Function func uses some() method to verify if any element in array satisfies condition.

JavaScript 
function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) {     return element > 5; } function func() {     // Original array     let array = [2, 5, 8, 1, 4];      // Checking for condition in array     let value = array.some(isGreaterThan5);      console.log(value); } func();

Output
true

Example : In this example the Function isGreaterThan5 checks if any element in an array is greater than 5. Function func uses some() to verify if any element in array satisfies condition.

JavaScript 
function isGreaterThan5(element, index, array) {     return element > 5; } function func() {     // Original array     let array = [-2, 5, 3, 1, 4];      // Checking for condition in the array     let value = array.some(isGreaterThan5);      console.log(value); } func();

Output
false
