I have findPlayerWithID function which return matched player id

function findPlayerWithID(players, id) {
  let i = 0;
  for (; i < players.count(); i++) {
        if (players.map((degisken) => degisken.get('id'))._tail === undefined) { continue; }

        if (players.map((degisken) => degisken.get('id'))._tail.array[i] === id) {
          return i;
        }
  }
  return -1;
}

But sometimes it give error in this line

 if (players.map((degisken) => degisken.get('id'))._tail === undefined) { continue; }

error is

gameStore.js:38 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of null

I think error because of null object How can I check null in this line

if (players.map((degisken) => degisken.get('id')).

Updated with @canaan-seaton answear I change this

if (players.filter(degisken => degisken !== null).map((degisken) => degisken.get('id'))._tail.array[i] === id) {
          return i;
        }

this work but it give another error in immutablejs

I searcg for that error there is some info but I don't understand what should I do
here is my console

• If you want to map players to their id's then you should use an object instead of an array with the key being the player id and the value being an object containing the player data. Your error indicates there are null values in your players array which i can't imagine is intended. – trixn Commented Aug 6, 2017 at 12:21

Generally , it is not a good practice to check for equality to undefined.

I would try to do it this way: First of all, to make sure that degisken does exists you can go with degisken && degisken.get(id)

Second, you might want to use Object's hasOwnProperty method, which will be useful in here:

players.map((degisken) => {
   const id = degisken && degisken.get('id');
   if(id && id.hasOwnProperty('_tail') && id._tail.array[i] === id){
     return i
   }
});

if you just want to check if the array has elements then you can do something like the following....

if (players && players.length > 0) {/* Do Stuff */}

if you are concerned with specific indices within the array being null then you could do something like this....

if (players.filter(degisken => degisken !== null)
   .map((degisken) => degisken.get('id'))._tail === undefined)
   {/* Do Stuff */}
