Check if object value exists within a Javascript array of objects and if not add a new object to array

I've assumed that ids are meant to be unique here. some is a great function for checking the existence of things in arrays:

const arr = [{ id: 1, username: 'fred' }, { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 3, username: 'ted' }];

function add(arr, name) {
  const { length } = arr;
  const id = length + 1;
  const found = arr.some(el => el.username === name);
  if (!found) arr.push({ id, username: name });
  return arr;
}

console.log(add(arr, 'ted'));

This small snippets works for me..

const arrayOfObject = [{ id: 1, name: 'john' }, {id: 2, name: 'max'}];

const checkUsername = obj => obj.name === 'max';

console.log(arrayOfObject.some(checkUsername))

if you have array of elements like ['john','marsh'] then we can do some thing like this

const checkUsername = element => element == 'john';
    
console.log(arrayOfObject.some(checkUsername))

It's rather trivial to check for existing username:

var arr = [{ id: 1, username: 'fred' }, 
  { id: 2, username: 'bill'}, 
  { id: 3, username: 'ted' }];

function userExists(username) {
  return arr.some(function(el) {
    return el.username === username;
  }); 
}

console.log(userExists('fred')); // true
console.log(userExists('bred')); // false

But it's not so obvious what to do when you have to add a new user to this array. The easiest way out - just pushing a new element with id equal to array.length + 1:

function addUser(username) {
  if (userExists(username)) {
    return false; 
  }
  arr.push({ id: arr.length + 1, username: username });
  return true;
}

addUser('fred'); // false
addUser('bred'); // true, user `bred` added

It will guarantee the IDs uniqueness, but will make this array look a bit strange if some elements will be taken off its end.

This is what I did in addition to @sagar-gavhane's answer

const newUser = {_id: 4, name: 'Adam'}
const users = [{_id: 1, name: 'Fred'}, {_id: 2, name: 'Ted'}, {_id: 3, name:'Bill'}]

const userExists = users.some(user => user.name === newUser.name);
if(userExists) {
    return new Error({error:'User exists'})
}
users.push(newUser)

I think that, this is the shortest way of addressing this problem. Here I have used ES6 arrow function with .filter to check the existence of newly adding username.

var arr = [{
    id: 1,
    username: 'fred'
}, {
    id: 2,
    username: 'bill'
}, {
    id: 3,
    username: 'ted'
}];

function add(name) {
    var id = arr.length + 1;        
            if (arr.filter(item=> item.username == name).length == 0){
            arr.push({ id: id, username: name });
        }
}

add('ted');
console.log(arr);
