Return a value from a multi value object in Javascript based on criteria

Question

Let's say I have an array of objects that looks like this:

  var obj1 = [{
          fullName ='Jon Doe',
          Name     ='Jon',
          age      ='17',
       },
       {
        fullName     ='Bob Smith',
        Name     ='Bob',
        age     ='34',
       }
   ]

If I have a var CustomerName = 'Jon', how can I possibly retrieve the age for Jon

  var cName = obj1.filter(function(item)){
      return item['age'] //?? Where item['name'] == customerName
  }

I am a little lost, am i on the right path? THanks.

@pilchard - yes thank you. My google skills needs a little tuning — Shrimp2022, Feb 18 '22 at 22:22

You're looking for something like this:

const filtered = (item) => {
  item.name === customerName
}

return obj1.filter(filtered).forEach((obj) => obj.age)
