I'm trying to filter all the items in the initialItems which has an index lesser than the current item. For example, if the name is CM, i need to get QS, IT and AB to be displayed in a draggable dropdown menu. However, I am stuck on how to use the filter and findIndex javascript function to perform this action.
Code with filter function:
getItems(itemName) {
let index = this.state.initialItems.findIndex(x => x.name == itemName);
for (var i = 0; i < initialItems.length; i++) {
let items = this.state.initialItems.filter((item) => i < index);
}
}
Console.log object of initialItems:
[
{
"name": "QS",
"isTrue": false,
"id": "ccc"
},
{
"name": "IT",
"isTrue": null,
"id": "bbb"
},
{
"name": "AB",
"isTrue": null,
"id": "aaa"
},
{
"name": "CM",
"isTrue": null,
"id": "ddd"
}
]
function getItems(itemName) {
const index = items.findIndex(item => item.name === itemName);
return items.slice(0, index);
};
getItems("CM");
