How can get all objects whose sub object's property matches my string array using linq.js?

Question

I have an array of tag names:

var tags = ['tagOne', 'tagTwo']

Which I want to use, to query the array below and get all items which match a tag.

var items = 
[
{
  'name': 'itemOne',
  'tags': [
    { name: 'tagOne' }
  ]
},
{
  'name': 'itemTwo',
  'tags': [
    { name: 'tagTwo' }
  ]
}
];

How can I do this with linq Js? I.E in this case both items would be returned

Try this; it may not be the most efficient way (I've never used linq.js before) but it will work:

// Enumerate through the items
var matches = Enumerable.From(items)
    .Where(function(item) {
        // Enumerate through the item's tags
        return Enumerable.From(item.tags).Any(function(tag) {

            // Find matching tags by name
            return Enumerable.From(tags).Contains(tag.name);
        })
    })
    .ToArray();
