Check if value exists in an array jQuery: Here in this article will see how in jQuery check if array contains a value or not. In short, if we have a value and want to check whether the value exists in an associative array or not.

Without making a Forloop, just by using jQuery.inArray() method we can easily verify if values are available in an array of objects.

The jQuery.InArray() is a built-in jQuery method, used to find a given value within an array. If the value is available it returns its index, and if the given value is not exists then it returns -1.

Usage of jQuery.inArray() method

Here we have an array variable that contains values as fruit names. Now we want to check if the fruit mango is contained in our array variable (arrFruits), and display the respective console message. 

Our final jQuery code look like as written below:

var arrFruits = ['apple', 'mango', 'orange', 'grapes', 'banana'];

if ($.inArray('mango', arrFruits) >= 0) {
    console.log('Value exists in Array variable');
} else {
    console.log('Value Not exists');
}
