I have a bool array.

var arr = [true, false, true,false, true]

My requirement:

If the array contains a bool value true I want to show a single alert 'array contains a true value'. Alert should not be multiple. Can someone suggest how to achieve it in javascript?

Sorted by: Reset to default 5

includes will do

var arr = [true, false, true,false, true]
if(arr.includes(true)){
alert("true found");
}

you can use Array.prototype.some for this purpose also.

var arr = [true, false, true,false, true]
if(arr.some((elem)=> elem === true))
{
 console.log('contains true')
}

You can also use Array.prototype.findIndex method. If not found it will return -1.

if(arr.findIndex(elem=>elem === true)!=-1){
    console.log('contains true')
}

Object.is ( ) uses === internally. So you can use it as well

if(arr.some(elem=>Object.is(elem,true))){
   console.log('contains true')
}

array.prototype.indexOf also uses === internally.

if(arr.indexOf(true) != -1){
   console.log('contains true')
}

There are so many ways to choose from.Pick the one that suits your need.

You could try this:

for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
    if(arr[i]){
        alert("Array contains a true value");
        break;
    }
}

OR

var b = false;
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++)
    b = b || arr[i];

if(b) 
    alert("Array contains a true value");

You could simply use Array.prototype.some, Following is the code.

let arr = [true, false, true,false, true]
if(arr.some(e=>e))
  alert("true is included in the array");
