javascript - Searching JSON value multiple levels deep -

i have following data object, , there more similar ones within entities:

function loadcardlibrary() {     var cardlibrary = {         entities: [             {                 name: "spareparts",                 values: {                     sickness: 0,                     attack: 0,                     scrap: 3,                     manacost: 0                 },                 apply: [                     applycreature("mech"),                     applyhealth(1),                     applynoattack(true)                 ]             }         ]     };     return cardlibrary; } 

i trying write function (see example) search name value, go in object , search check specific apply value, so:

function checkhasnoattack(entityname) {     (var entity in cardlibrary.entities) {         if (cardlibrary.entities[entity].name === entityname) {             // debugging             console.log(cardlibrary.entities[entity]);             console.log(); // blank line             (var applied in cardlibrary.entities[entity].apply) {                 if (cardlibrary.entities[entity].apply[applied].applynoattack === true) {                     console.log(entityname + " cannot attack.");                 } else {                     console.log("test");                     break;                 }             }         }     } } 

when call right after, this:

var canitattack = checkhasnoattack("spareparts"); 

...this result:

{      name: 'spareparts',     values: {         sickness: 0,         attack: 0,         scrap: 3,         manacost: 0     },     apply: [ 'mech', 1, true ] }  test 

instead of test comes else, trying log respond first if statement, , log:

spareparts cannot attack.

with understanding more complicated logic replace console.log there need work, have been tinkering , can't seem right. appreciated!

this pretty simple:

function check(a) {     var result = null;     cardlibrary.entities.foreach(function(b){         if (b.name === a) {             if (b.apply[2] === true) {                 console.log(a + " cannot attack!");             } else {                 console.log("test");             }             result = b;         }     });     return result; } 

apply array, have use [2] select value

arrays ugly job @ this, recommend modifying apply object like:

apply: {     creature: applycreature("mech"),     health: applyhealth(1),     noattack: applynoattack(true) } 

then can use code:

function check(a) {     var result = null;     cardlibrary.entities.foreach(function(b){         if (b.name === a) {             if (b.apply.noattack === true) {                 console.log(a + " cannot attack!");             } else {                 console.log("test");             }             result = b;         }     });     return result; }
