JAVASCRIPT

foreach break js

var BreakException = {};

try {
  [1, 2, 3].forEach(function(el) {
    console.log(el);
    if (el === 2) throw BreakException;
  });
} catch (e) {
  if (e !== BreakException) throw e;
}

javascript fore each break example

The for…of loop would be the preferred solution to this problem. It provides clean easy to read syntax and also lets us use break once again. 

let data = [
    {name: 'Rick'},{name: 'Steph'},{name: 'Bob'}
  ]

for (let obj of data) {
  console.log(obj.name)
  if (obj.name === 'Steph') break;

javascript foreach break

//Use some instead
[1, 2, 3].some(function(el) {
  console.log(el);
  return el === 2;
});

can i use break in foreach javascript

/* use for...of instead 
Officially, there is no proper way to break out of a forEach loop in javascript.
Using the familiar break syntax will throw an error
If breaking the loop is something you really need, 
it would be best to consider using a traditional loop. */
