Here are some handy JavaScript functions to filter Arrays in SQL-like fashion
Array.prototype.selectOne = function (where) {
var filtered = this.selectWhere(where);
if (filtered.length > 0) {
return filtered[0];
}
return null;
};
Array.prototype.selectWhere = function (where) {
var columnName = where[0];
var comparator = where[1];
var compareValue = where[2];
var filtered = [];
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
var row = this[i];
if (row[columnName] == compareValue) { // Leave as is, do not use "==="
filtered.push(row);
}
}
return filtered;
};
