multiple conditions for JavaScript .includes() method

by

You can use the .some method referenced here.

The some() method tests whether at least one element in the array
passes the test implemented by the provided function.

// test cases
const str1 = 'hi hello, how do you do?';
const str2 = 'regular string';
const str3 = 'hello there';

// do the test strings contain these terms?
const conditions = ["hello", "hi", "howdy"];

// run the tests against every element in the array
const test1 = conditions.some(el => str1.includes(el));
const test2 = conditions.some(el => str2.includes(el));
// strictly check that contains 1 and only one match
const test3 = conditions.reduce((a,c) => a + str3.includes(c), 0) == 1;

// display results
console.log(`Loose matching, 2 matches "${str1}" => ${test1}`);
console.log(`Loose matching, 0 matches "${str2}" => ${test2}`);
console.log(`Exact matching, 1 matches "${str3}" => ${test3}`);

Also, as a user mentions below, it is also interesting to match “exactly one” appearance like mentioned above (and requested by OP). This can be done similarly counting the intersections with .reduce and checking later that they’re equal to 1.
