I know similar questions have been asked before, but this one is a little different. I have an array of unnamed objects, which contain an array of named objects, and I need to get the object where “name” is “string 1”. Here is an example array.
var array = [
{ name:"string 1", value:"this", other: "that" },
{ name:"string 2", value:"this", other: "that" }
];
Update: I should have said this earlier, but once I find it, I want to replace it with an edited object.

Finding the array element:
let arr = [
{ name:"string 1", value:"this", other: "that" },
{ name:"string 2", value:"this", other: "that" }
];
let obj = arr.find(o => o.name === 'string 1');
console.log(obj);
Replacing the array element:
let arr = [
{ name:"string 1", value:"this", other: "that" },
{ name:"string 2", value:"this", other: "that" }
];
let obj = arr.find((o, i) => {
if (o.name === 'string 1') {
arr[i] = { name: 'new string', value: 'this', other: 'that' };
return true; // stop searching
}
});
console.log(arr);
