find()

find(predicate: (value: string) => boolean, from: number): Option<string>

Defined in: ArgumentStream.ts:248

Returns the value of the first element in the array within Option.some where predicate returns true, and Option.none otherwise.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
predicate	(value: string) => boolean	find calls predicate once for each unused ordered parameter, in ascending order, until it finds one where predicate returns true. If such an element is found, find immediately returns a Option.some with that element value. Otherwise, find returns Option.none.
from	number	The position where to start looking for unused parameters, defaults to current position.

Returns

Option<string>

The found parameter's value.

Note

This does not support asynchronous results, refer to findAsync.

Example

// Suppose args are from 'ba aa cc'.

console.log(args.find((value) => value.startsWith('a')));
// Some { value: 'aa' }

---
