array.includes( () => {} ) as a function [duplicate]

Question

Is there a method like includes that only searches for an element in an array but allows you to see the elements that are being iterating on?

for example: I have the following array:

const arr = [{ color: 'red' },{ color: 'blue' },{ color: 'pink' },{ color: 'green' }]

I want to check if the arr holds an element with the value of pink: so I thought if there's something like this in JavaScript:

arr.includes( (el, index)=> el.color == 'pink' )

which then returns a boolean, either true or false.

Is there a method like that in JavaScript? if not, what about lodash?

I marked my question as a duplicate, but I think that it should be separated in a stand alone thread, because it's a general question and not related to a particular thing to achieve, How can I unmark it from being duplicated? — Islam Y-

You can't directly. You can edit your question, explain why you think it is different and then mark the "Submit for review" checkbox. After that the community will review and vote to reopen when they agree with it. I don't give it much chance though. It answers the question perfectly after all. — Ivar

I think you want find:

if (arr.find(el => el.color === "pink")) console.log("it's there");

some would be better, because it returns a boolean.
