What is the main purpose of find index in AngularJS, and what does it return if no value is found?

Find index is used to return the position of an element. It returns the value (-1) if the requested element is not found.

var index = $scope.items.findIndex(record => record.date ==’2018-12-12′);
In the given code, index of the object is returned where item.date=2018-12-12.

In AngularJS, there is no specific “find index” function as part of the core AngularJS framework. However, you might be referring to a common JavaScript method called indexOf().

The indexOf() method is not AngularJS-specific but is part of JavaScript arrays. It is used to find the index of the first occurrence of a specified element in an array. If the element is not found, the method returns -1.

For example:

javascript
var myArray = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
var index = myArray.indexOf(30);

// index will be 2, as 30 is at the third position (index 2) in the array

If the element is not present in the array, it returns -1:

javascript
var myArray = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
var index = myArray.indexOf(60);

// index will be -1, as 60 is not present in the array
