How to search an array for matching attribute with JavaScript?
To search an array for matching attribute with JavaScript, we use the array find method.

{ restaurant: { name: "McDonald's", food: "burger" } },
{ restaurant: { name: "KFC", food: "chicken" } },
{ restaurant: { name: "Pizza Hut", food: "pizza" } },
];
const chickenRestaurant = restaurants.find((item) => {
return item.restaurant.food === "chicken";
});
to call restaurants.find with a callback that returns the first object in restaurants that has the restaurant.food property equal to 'chicken'.
