JS exit a .map() function

Question

So I'm using a map function to iterate and array, and I want to stop going trough elements inside a map function once a condition has been met.

Is there a way to do so ?

Ex :

var arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
arr.map((el,index)=>{
  console.log("Element : ",el)
  if(el > 5){
    //Stop the map function and proceed to the next operation
    //like goto line 11 so skip going trough the map anymore
    console.log("Stop")
  }
})

console.log("Sucess!")

So in this example I just want to stop the map once the element inside it, has a value bigger than 5. Is there a way to do this with map, or I should find another solution ?

Why map ? -Seems like an intresting solution, and I was wondering if it's possible to use in y case

Answer 1

You are not looking for .map function, but you need to use .some or .find

var arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
arr.some((el,index)=>{
  console.log("Element : ",el)
  if(el > 5){
    //Stop the map function and proceed to the next operation
    //like goto:11
    console.log("Stop")
    return true // stop the iteration of the first "truty" value
  }
  return false
})

console.log("Sucess!")
