EDIT 2

i have a field named "parent" which is an array of string. i already have a string named "12344" which is a part of array parent. how do i check if the events.parent cotains this string and filter those objects

let p = '1234';
let eventsF = events.filter(book => book.parent && Array.isArray(book.parent)&& book.parent.indexOf(p) !== -1);

Answer 2

Filter used for filter records with where conditions . In your case you want transform data and you just want a array of city from an array of object. So in this case use map instance of filter

Example

this.cityList = this.events.map(book => book.place.location.city);
