How to exit from $.each function when condition met

Question

How can I exit from $.each loop when a condition is met? I don't want to iterate the collection further.

$(vehicles).each(function() {
    if (this["@id"] === vehicleId[0]) {
      vehicle = this;
    }
});

I tried with break; & return; statement but it looks the execution doesn't not stop at that point. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Returning false is the equivalent of breaking out of a $.each loop. So in your example:

   if (this["@id"] === vehicleId[0]) { vehicle = this; return false; }
