How to use lodash to find and return an object from Array?

My objects:

[
    {
        description: 'object1', id: 1
    },
    {
        description: 'object2', id: 2
    }
    {
        description: 'object3', id: 3
    }
    {
        description: 'object4', id: 4
    }
]

In my function below I'm passing in the description to find the matching ID:

function pluckSavedView(action, view) {
    console.log('action: ', action);
    console.log('pluckSavedView: ', view);  // view = 'object1'

    var savedViews = retrieveSavedViews();
    console.log('savedViews: ', savedViews);

    if (action === 'delete') {
        var delete_id = _.result(_.find(savedViews, function(description) {
            return description === view;
        }), 'id');

        console.log('delete_id: ', delete_id); // should be '1', but is undefined
    }
}

I'm trying to use lodash's find method: https://lodash.com/docs#find

However my variable delete_id is coming out undefined.

Update for people checking this question out, Ramda is a nice library to do the same thing lodash does, but in a more functional programming way :) http://ramdajs.com/0.21.0/docs/

lodash and ES5

var song = _.find(songs, {id:id});

lodash and ES6

let song = _.find(songs, {id});

docs at https://lodash.com/docs#find

The argument passed to the callback is one of the elements of the array. The elements of your array are objects of the form {description: ..., id: ...}.

var delete_id = _.result(_.find(savedViews, function(obj) {
    return obj.description === view;
}), 'id');

Yet another alternative from the docs you linked to (lodash v3):

_.find(savedViews, 'description', view);

Lodash v4:

_.find(savedViews, ['description', view]);

You can do this easily in vanilla JS:

Using find:

const savedViews = [{"description":"object1","id":1},{"description":"object2","id":2},{"description":"object3","id":3},{"description":"object4","id":4}];

const view = 'object2';

const delete_id = savedViews.find(obj => {
  return obj.description === view;
}).id;

console.log(delete_id);

Using filter (original answer):

const savedViews = [{"description":"object1","id":1},{"description":"object2","id":2},{"description":"object3","id":3},{"description":"object4","id":4}];

const view = 'object2';

const delete_id = savedViews.filter(function (el) {
  return el.description === view;
})[0].id;

console.log(delete_id);
