Includes LIKE multiple values in array

Question

I want to find multiple values in an array. When searching, I want to be able to use something like a LIKE statement from SQL.

arr = ['end', 'start_date', 'hello', 'end_dt', 'pub_date']

When I do:

let el = arr.find(a => a.includes('date') || a.includes('dt'));

Right now it only returns the first value it finds, start_date

I need it to return:

start_date
end_dt
pub_date

How do I do that?

Array.prototype.find returns only the first match for the return conditions.

let arr = ['end', 'start_date', 'hello', 'end_dt', 'pub_date']
console.log(arr.filter(a => a.includes('date') || a.includes('dt')))
