I have a valid json file (i put only a limited part of that). i want to search incasesensitive and look as contain (suppose there is a record of Red Carpet in json file , if user search "red" it will show the matches's video_url (video_url of "Red Carpet). I have a limitation that i can't use ES6 because of hardware. please show how do i need to convert following json file to javascript object and use jquery or javascript to make a contain incasesensitive search. I can add lodash or any other javascript library to my project for this purpose.

[{

        "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Zane_Ziadi_HQ.mp4",

        "title": "Zane Ziadi"

    },

    {

        "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/DarBastAzadiHQ.mp4",

        "title": "Darbast Azadi"

    },

    {

        "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Cheghadr_Vaght_Dari_HQ.mp4",

        "title": "Cheghadr Vaght Dari"

    },

    {

        "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Mashaal_HQ.mp4",

        "title": "Mashaal"

    },

    {

        "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Red_Carpet_HQ.mp4",

        "title": "Red Carpet"

    }

]

following code doesn't work :

  document.getElementById('input').addEventListener('change', function() {



 var name = document.getElementById('input').value.toLowerCase();

    var result = _.find(movies, {'title': name});

    if (!result){

       console.log('Nothing found');

    }else{

         console.log('Go to ' + result.video_url);



    }

    });

Edit2: update2

fixed and solved by Akrion comment, thanks so much to him

Edit3: update3

it seemed by Akrion answer, when search a for character "a" it would not return all title which has A as character , please modify and correct the code i try to run ES5 part answer and it only return zane ziadi the first item but not "Cheghadr Vaght Dari"

Edit4: update4
as Akrion suggested in his comment i can use filter instead of find to match all searches. i mark his answer for this thread forever

The issue with your code is that you are asking lodash to compare the exact contents of title and more importantly compare it while being case sensitive, since {title: name} triggers property match in lodash which simply compares the contents of title with the contents of the variable.

You can create a search function via lodash methods and no ES6 like this:

const data = [{ "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Zane_Ziadi_HQ.mp4", "title": "Zane Ziadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/DarBastAzadiHQ.mp4", "title": "Darbast Azadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Cheghadr_Vaght_Dari_HQ.mp4", "title": "Cheghadr Vaght Dari" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Mashaal_HQ.mp4", "title": "Mashaal" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Red_Carpet_HQ.mp4", "title": "Red Carpet" } ]



const search = function(data, term) {

  return _.find(data, function(x) { 

    return _.includes(_.toLower(x.title), _.toLower(term))}) 

  }



console.log(search(data, 'azadi'))

console.log(search(data, 'Red'))

console.log(search(data, 'zan'))

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.10/lodash.min.js"></script>

Using find, includes and toLower lodash methods.

Your code then would look like:

function search(data, term) {

  return _.find(data, function(x) { 

    return _.includes(_.toLower(x.title), _.toLower(term))}) 

}



document.getElementById('input').addEventListener('change', function() {

  var name = document.getElementById('input').value;

  var result = search(movies, name);  // <-- change to use the new search fn

  if (result) {

    console.log('Nothing found');

  } else {

    console.log('Go to ' + result.video_url);

  }

});

With ES5 you can also do this via:

const data = [{ "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Zane_Ziadi_HQ.mp4", "title": "Zane Ziadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/DarBastAzadiHQ.mp4", "title": "Darbast Azadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Cheghadr_Vaght_Dari_HQ.mp4", "title": "Cheghadr Vaght Dari" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Mashaal_HQ.mp4", "title": "Mashaal" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Red_Carpet_HQ.mp4", "title": "Red Carpet" } ]



const search = function(data, term) {

  return data.find(function(x) {

    return x.title.toLowerCase().indexOf(term.toLowerCase()) >= 0 })

} 



console.log(search(data, 'azadi'))

console.log(search(data, 'Red'))

console.log(search(data, 'zan'))

With ES6 this would simply be:

const data = [{ "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Zane_Ziadi_HQ.mp4", "title": "Zane Ziadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/DarBastAzadiHQ.mp4", "title": "Darbast Azadi" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Cheghadr_Vaght_Dari_HQ.mp4", "title": "Cheghadr Vaght Dari" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Mashaal_HQ.mp4", "title": "Mashaal" }, { "video_url": "http://63.237.48.3/ipnx/media/movies/Red_Carpet_HQ.mp4", "title": "Red Carpet" } ]



const search = (data, term) => 

  data.find(({title}) => title.toLowerCase().includes(term.toLowerCase()))



console.log(search(data, 'azadi'))

console.log(search(data, 'Red'))

console.log(search(data, 'zan'))

Please note that this is not a super performant approach and if you are going to search hundreds/thousands of documents this way it will not perform well. You would need to look into other ways (Binary search etc) to solve this.
