Array.includes() to find object in array

by

Array.includes compares by object identity just like obj === obj2, so sadly this doesn’t work unless the two items are references to the same object. You can often use Array.prototype.some() instead which takes a function:

const arr = [{a: 'b'}]
console.log(arr.some(item => item.a === 'b'))

But of course you then need to write a small function that defines what you mean by equality.
