How to search an element in Array of Dictionary? - ios

Question

Below mentioned is my array. I need to check if the barcode 8901058847857 or barcode xxxxxxxxxxx exists in array or not.
(
{
barcode = 8901058847857;
image = (
);
name = "Maggi Hot Heads";
productTotal = "60.00";
quantity = 3;
},
{
barcode = 8901491101837;
image = (
);
name = "Lays Classic Salted";
productTotal = "20.00";
quantity = 1;
}
)
I tried using array.contains or array.elements but it is not working because barcode exists in an array.

Answer 1

** Try this **
// Put your key in predicate that is "barcode"
var namePredicate = NSPredicate(format: "barcode contains[c] %#",searchString);
let filteredArray = arrayOfDict.filter { namePredicate.evaluate(with: $0) };
print("names = ,\(filteredArray)")

You can search your array of dictionaries using contains where but you need to cast your value from Any to Int before trying to compare them:
if array.contains(where: {$0["barcode"] as? Int ?? 0 == 8901058847857}) {
print(true)
}

You can also run for loop to check the presence of element in your Array of dictionary.
let DictnaryArray = (
{
barcode = 8901058847857;
image = (
);
name = "Maggi Hot Heads";
productTotal = "60.00";
quantity = 3;
},
{
barcode = 8901491101837;
image = (
);
name = "Lays Classic Salted";
productTotal = "20.00";
quantity = 1;
}
)
for (index,element) in DictnaryArray{
let dict = DictnaryArray[index]
if dict["barcode"] == 8901058847857 || dict["barcode"] == XXXXXXXXXXX{
print("BarCode Exist")
print("\(dict["barcode"])")
}
}
Hope it helps!
