jQuery each - continue

Question

while using jQuery each:

$.each([ 52, 97 ], function( index, value ) {
  alert( index + ": " + value );
});

Is there anything like continue to stop the loop?

Pseudocode:

$.each([ 52, 97, 10, 20, 30 ], function( index, value ) {
  alert( index + ": " + value );
  if (value==20) {
      continue; // STOP LOOPING AND CONTINUE AT POINT (2)
  }
});
<---- POINT (2) ---->

Please read the documentation of `each` first. Should be the part of a research you do before asking a question. — trincot, Feb 06 '18 at 18:59

To break each loop use return false:

$.each([ 52, 97, 10, 20, 30 ], function( index, value ) {
  alert( index + ": " + value );
  if (value==20) {
      return false;
  }
});

continue do same like return true and it skip immediately to the next iteration.

$.each() takes return false as a break statement:

$.each([ 52, 97, 10, 20, 30 ], function( index, value ) {
  alert( index + ": " + value );
  if (value===20) {
       return false;
  }
});

console.log("got the the rest of the script.")

Use return: false;

$.each([ 52, 97 ], function( index, value ) {
  alert( index + ": " + value );
  if (value == 52) { return false; }
});
