Find a value within nested array using Lodash

Question

I have an Array formtted like:

 myArray = [{
        "urlTag": "Google",
        "urlTitle": "Users",
        "status": 6,
        "nested": {
            "id": 2,
            "title": "http:\/\/www.google.com",
        }
    },
    {
        "urlTag": "Bing",
        "tabTitle": "BingUsers"
    }]

I know the urlTag, and based on that, i need to get the title that is nested inside the nested array.

currently I have:

    let myUrl = 'Google';
    let myResult = _.result(_.find(myArray, {'urlTag': url}), nested.title);

I need myResult to be http:\/\/www.google.com but it's empty.

You need to quote the path: _.result(_.find(myArray, {'urlTag': url}), 'nested.title'); — Jason Cust

Both result() or get() do the job. The only difference is that result() will invoke the path if it resolves to a function:

_.get(_.find(myArray, { urlTag: myUrl }), 'nested.title');
// → "http://www.google.com"

_.result(_.find(myArray, { urlTag: myUrl }), 'nested.title');
// → "http://www.google.com"
