Determines whether all the members of an array satisfy the specified test.
Syntaxevery( callbackfn [, thisArg ])
true if the callbackfn function returns true for all array elements; otherwise, false. If the array is has no elements, the every method returns true.
ExamplesThe following example illustrates the use of the every method.
function CheckIfEven(value, index, ar) {
document.write(value + " ");
if (value % 2 == 0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
var numbers = [2, 4, 5, 6, 8];
if (numbers.every(CheckIfEven))
document.write("All are even.");
else
document.write("Some are not even.");
The following example illustrates the use of the thisArg argument, which specifies an object to which the this keyword can refer.
var checkNumericRange = function(value) {
if (typeof value !== 'number')
return false;
else
return value >= this.minimum && value <= this.maximum;
}
var numbers = [10, 15, 19];
var obj = { minimum: 10, maximum: 20 }
if (numbers.every(checkNumericRange, obj))
document.write ("All are within range.");
else
document.write ("Some are not within range.");
Remarks
The every method calls the callbackfn function one time for each array element, in ascending index order, until the callbackfn function returns false. If an element that causes callbackfn to return false is found, the every method immediately returns false. Otherwise, the every method returns true.
The callback function is not called for missing elements of the array.
In addition to array objects, the every method can be used by any object that has a length property and that has numerically indexed property names.
Note – You can use the some Method (Array) to check whether the callback function returns true for any element of an array.
The syntax of the callback function is as follows:
function callbackfn(value, index, array1)
You can declare the callback function with up to three parameters.
The following table lists the callback function parameters.
Callback parameter Definition value The value of the array element. index The numeric index of the array element. array1 The array object that contains the element.The array object can be modified by the callback function.
The following table describes the results of modifying the array object after the every method starts.
Condition after the every method starts Element passed to callback function? Element is added beyond the original length of the array. No. Element is added to fill in a missing element of the array. Yes, if that index has not yet been passed to the callback function. Element is changed. Yes, if that element has not yet been passed to the callback function. Element is deleted from the array. No, unless that element has already been passed to the callback function. ExceptionsIf the callbackfn argument is not a function object, a TypeError exception is thrown.
