::: warning Use Array.prototype.some() method
This some function operates in a complex manner due to handling various types of conditions and object support.
Instead, use the faster and more modern Array.prototype.some() method.
:::
Checks if any element in an array or object satisfies the given condition.
const hasMatch = some(collection, predicate);
some(collection, predicate)Use some when you want to check if at least one element in an array or object satisfies a condition. It supports various forms of conditions.
import { some } from 'es-toolkit/compat';
// Using a condition function on an array
some([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n % 2 === 0);
// Returns true (2 and 4 are even)
// Matching with partial object on an array
some([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], { a: 2 });
// Returns true
// Matching with property-value pair on an array
some([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }], ['a', 2]);
// Returns true
// Checking if property is truthy on an array
some([{ a: 0 }, { a: 1 }, { a: 0 }], 'a');
// Returns true (element with a=1 exists)
// Using a condition function on an object
some({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }, n => n % 2 === 0);
// Returns true (2 is even)
If no condition is provided, it checks if there are any truthy values.
import { some } from 'es-toolkit/compat';
some([0, 1, 2]); // true (1 and 2 are truthy)
some([false, null, undefined]); // false (all values are falsy)
some(null); // false (treated as empty array)
collection (ArrayLike<T> | Record<any, any> | null | undefined): The array or object to check.predicate (optional): The function to check the condition, partial object, property-value pair, or property name.(boolean): Returns true if at least one element satisfies the condition, false otherwise.
