Case-Insensitive List Search in Javascript
I have a list testList that contains a bunch of strings. I would like to add a new string into the testList only if it doesn't already exist in the list. Therefore, I need to do a case-insensitive search of the list and make it efficient. I can't use Contains because that doesn't take into account the casing. I also don't want to use ToUpper/ToLower for performance reasons. I came across this method, which works:
if(testList.FindAll(x => x.IndexOf(keyword,
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= 0).Count > 0)
Console.WriteLine("Found in list");use Contains by providing the case insensitive string equality comparer like so:
using System.Linq;
// ...
if (testList.Contains(keyword, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
Console.WriteLine("Keyword Exists");
}
