That will work, if you’re not using Cannon’s OBJ methods. Cannon’s methods
allow you to search multiple levels of an object using dot notation in the key
name (a key-path). So if your objects had attributes that were objects, like:
[
{ “name” : { “first”: “Chip”, “last”: “Scheide”}, “address”: {…} },
{ “name” : { “first”: “Jim”, “last”: “Crate”}, “address”: {…} },
]
then you could call the search like:
$firstName:=“Chip"
$foundIdx:=OBJA_Find_in_Array(->$objectArr;”name.first”;->$firstName)
It’s common to have to deal with nested objects if you start working with data
from some external API, like the Square API, so being able to easily search
that way is useful.
