How to correct following code for desired output,

var Data = [{ "A": -27, "B": -39 }, { "A": 28, "B": 0}]

var filter = "x[A]==28";

var findItem = Enumerable.From(Data)
 .Where(function (x) { return filter ; })
 .ToArray();

alert(findItem.length);

$.each(findItem, function (i, value) {
alert(value["A"]);
});

It should give me one value A:28 or plete one record { "A": 28, "B": 0}, why i am getting two values, How to get correct results ?

using "linq.js" from following path: [ .js ]

• javascript
• underscore.js
• linq.js

• You're returning a string, which is "truthy" (evaluates to true). You probably want to actually evaluate your filter in the where callback: .Where(function (x) { return x['A'] == 28; }) – Shmiddty Commented Jan 8, 2013 at 18:10
• It will not work as i am passing a variable field for where clause. The solution mention below works – irfan Munir Commented Jan 9, 2013 at 12:03
• Can you update the linq.js path. The path you have given is broken, So all the jsfiddle are not working. – Rajon Tanducar Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 11:59

your filter is a string which always evaluates to true. put your filter inside a function:

var filter = function(x) { return x['A'] === 28 };

and use this:

.Where(filter)

see updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle/gLXNw/4/

You either have to pass a predicate function, or a string that represents such a function. You're passing a function, so linq.js doesn't expect another function/string.

For Linq.js, you have to use this syntax for a string:

var filter = "x => x['A']==28";  // also note the quotes surrounding A

You then pass this function string to .Where:

.Where(filter)

You can of course also inline this:

.Where("x => x['A']==28")
