How to break from objx(data).each(function(item) iteration?

Question

How to break from objx(data).each(function(item) iteration when a certain condition is met.

My Json string is below:

var data= [{"field1": "0","field2": "2"},{"field1": "7","field2": "2"},{"field1": "1","field2": "5"}];

Here is a my code:

function iterate(){
                objx(data).each(function(item){
                 if(item.field1 == "7"){
                   //doing some job;
                   return; 
                  }
                 alert("after if is executed");// this alert coming inspite of giving 
                });                            // return in if block
             }

i think the return is only enabling it to come out of function but not from the loop. i dont want this unnecessary iteration once my condition is met and job is done. can anyone suggest how to come out of this each loop?

Answer 1

return false;

Returning false breaks out of the each function.
