Find partial string text in array object

Example: If I use the code below it works for the whole word "gorilla".

How do I get it to work with "gor" or "illa" or "orill"...?

...(equivalent to a str like "%gor%" in mysql for example)

const jungle = [
  { name: "frog", threat: 0 },
  { name: "monkey", threat: 5 },
  { name: "gorilla", threat: 8 },
  { name: "lion", threat: 10 }
];

const names = jungle.map(el => el.name);

// returns true
document.write(names.includes("gorilla"));

Answer

You can use find (or filter)

const jungle = [
  { name: "frog", threat: 0 },
  { name: "monkey", threat: 5 },
  { name: "gorilla", threat: 8 },
  { name: "lion", threat: 10 }
];

const names = (partial) => jungle.find(el => el.name.includes(partial)).name;

//You can also use "filter" method ==> 

//const names = (partial) => jungle.filter(el => el.name.includes(partial)).map(el => el.name) 



console.log(names("gor"))
console.log(names("illa"))
console.log(names("orill"))
