I'm trying to check if a string I import into my application has a certain piece of text. I know how to do this with jQuery, but how do I do it with straight up JavaScript?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Here you go: ES5
var test = 'Hello World';
if( test.indexOf('World') >= 0){
// Found world
}
With ES6 best way would be to use includes
function to test if the string contains the looking work.
const test = 'Hello World';
if (test.includes('World')) {
// Found world
}
