Check if value exists in the array (AngularJS) [duplicate]

You could use indexOf function.

if(list.indexOf(createItem.artNr) !== -1) {
  $scope.message = 'artNr already exists!';
}

More about indexOf:

You can use indexOf(). Like:

var Color = ["blue", "black", "brown", "gold"];
var a = Color.indexOf("brown");
alert(a);

The indexOf() method searches the array for the specified item, and returns its position. And return -1 if the item is not found.

If you want to search from end to start, use the lastIndexOf() method:

    var Color = ["blue", "black", "brown", "gold"];
    var a = Color.lastIndexOf("brown");
    alert(a);

The search will start at the specified position, or at the end if no start position is specified, and end the search at the beginning of the array.

Returns -1 if the item is not found.
