About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.


The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.


When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.


To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Test whether at least one element in a collection passes a test implemented by a predicate function.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/utils-any-by
```

Alternatively,

- To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]).
- If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions).
- For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]).

The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

## Usage

```javascript
var anyBy = require( '@stdlib/utils-any-by' );
```

#### anyBy( collection, predicate\[, thisArg ] )

Tests whether at least one element in a `collection` passes a test implemented by a `predicate` function.

```javascript
function isNegative( value ) {
return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, -1 ];

var bool = anyBy( arr, isNegative );
// returns true
```

If a `predicate` function returns a truthy value, the function **immediately** returns `true`.

```javascript
function isPositive( value ) {
if ( value < 0 ) {
throw new Error( 'should never reach this line' );
}
return ( value > 0 );
}

var arr = [ 1, -2, 3, 4 ];

var bool = anyBy( arr, isPositive );
// returns true
```

The invoked `function` is provided three arguments:

- **value**: collection element.
- **index**: collection index.
- **collection**: input collection.

To set the function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.

```javascript
function sum( value ) {
this.sum += value;
this.count += 1;
return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, -5 ];

var context = {
'sum': 0,
'count': 0
};

var bool = anyBy( arr, sum, context );
// returns true

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 1.0
```

## Notes

- A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (excluding `strings` and `functions`).

- If provided an empty collection, the function returns `false`.

```javascript
function alwaysTrue() {
return true;
}
var bool = anyBy( [], alwaysTrue );
// returns false
```

- The function differs from [`Array.prototype.some`][mdn-array-some] in the following ways:

- The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements.

```javascript
function log( value, index ) {
console.log( '%s: %s', index, value );
return ( value < 0 );
}

var arr = [ 1, , , 4, -1 ];

var bool = anyBy( arr, log );
/* =>
0: 1
1: undefined
2: undefined
3: 4
4: -1
*/
```

- The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose `length` changes during execution).

## Examples

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var anyBy = require( '@stdlib/utils-any-by' );

function threshold( value ) {
return ( value > 0.95 );
}

var bool;
var arr;
var i;

arr = [];
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
arr.push( randu() );
}

bool = anyBy( arr, threshold );
// returns
```
