search a string from an array whose keys and values are dynamic

Question

I have the following array :

 var Array = [{id:100,name:'N1',state:'delhi',country:'india',status:'active'},
 {id:101,name:'N2',state:'kenya',country:'africa',status:'suspended'}
 {id:102,name:'N3',state:'kerala',country:'india',status:'inactive'}
 {id:103,name:'N4',state:'victoria',country:'australia',status:'active'}]

and I have a search field , where I need to filter the array with that searched value and return the matched object. The problem here for me is I donot know what key and value pairs may come in the above array , Key value pairs are generated dynamically ,also how can I search the array using Regex . It should match with each char I type and return the matching object in an array ? the result should look something like this :

search key : ind

[{id:100,name:'N1',state:'delhi',country:'india',status:'active'},
 {id:102,name:'N3',state:'kerala',country:'india',status:'inactive'}]

search key : N2

[{id:101,name:'N2',state:'kenya',country:'africa',status:'suspended'}]

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

bigArray.filter(obj => Object.values(obj).indexOf(searchTerm) > -1); - more elaborate code will be needed for partial matches. — Niet the Dark Absol

You could filter the array and check the value by a direct check, if you need to seach for parts of strings or for case independent values.

function search(value) {
    return array.filter(o => Object.values(o).some(v => v === value));
}

var array = [{ id: 100, name: 'N1', state: 'delhi', country: 'india', status: 'active' }, { id: 101, name: 'N2', state: 'kenya', country: 'africa', status: 'suspended' }, { id: 102, name: 'N3', state: 'kerala', country: 'india', status: 'inactive' }, { id: 103, name: 'N4', state: 'victoria', country: 'australia', status: 'active' }];

console.log(search('india'));
console.log(search('N2'));

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
