KnockoutJS ArrayFirst doesn't work as expected

Question

I have already tried the solutions here:

• This: knockout arrayfirst not working as expected
• This: ko.utils.arrayFirst always returns null when not handling else block with non-empty string
• This: Knockout Check If Existing in observableArray before Push

But nothing works for me. I am checking if an item is already existing in the observable array

ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.Summary(), function (item) {

            var match = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.filteredSummary(), function (a) {
                return a.Sku == item.Sku()
            });

            if (!match) {
                // Do push
            }
        });

Am I doing something wrong? This always returns null even though when debugged, it founded a match.

I attached the snippet of the values:

Answer 1

Check the statement,

return item.Sku() === a.Sku()

=== : equal value and equal type, == : equal to,

In your case both the value and the type of the two summary objects must be equal.

Answer 2

Ok, try this one

ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.Summary(), function (item) {

            var match = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.filteredSummary(), function (a) {
                return a.Sku() == item.Sku();
            });

            if (!match) {
                // Do push
            }
        });

If this workd, the problem was that a.SKu was an observable and you were not evaluating it! Read my comment on your original question
