How to Find the Last Matching Object in Array of Objects with JavaScript?

To set Letter spacing in canvas element with JavaScript, we can use the JavaScript array’s reverse and fine methods.

For instance, we can write:

const fruits = [{
    shape: 'round',
    name: 'orange'
  },
  {
    shape: 'round',
    name: 'apple'
  },
  {
    shape: 'oblong',
    name: 'zucchini'
  },
  {
    shape: 'oblong',
    name: 'banana'
  },
  {
    shape: 'round',
    name: 'grapefruit'
  }
]
const currentShape = 'round'
const fruit = fruits.slice().reverse().find(fruit => fruit.shape === currentShape);
console.log(fruit)

We have the fruits array.

And we want to find the last element that has the shape property set to 'round'.

To do this, we call fruits.slice to return a copy of the fruits array.

Then we call reverse to reverse the array copy.

And finally, we call find with a callback that checks if fruit.shape is equal to currentShape.

Therefore, fruit is:

{shape: "round", name: "grapefruit"}

as we expect.
