Answer by Andy Rohr for How do I check if an array includes a value in JavaScript?

Similar thing: Finds the first element by a "search lambda":

Array.prototype.find = function(search_lambda) {
  return this[this.map(search_lambda).indexOf(true)];
};

Usage:

[1,3,4,5,8,3,5].find(function(item) { return item % 2 == 0 })
=> 4

Same in coffeescript:

Array.prototype.find = (search_lambda) -> @[@map(search_lambda).indexOf(true)]
