Terminate JavaScript forEach Loop

You can't break from the forEach method and it doesn't provide to escape the loop (other than throwing an exception).

You can use other functions like _.find from lodash instead −

_.find − it breaks out of the loop when the element is found. For example,

Example

_.find([1, 2, 3, 4], (element) => {
   // Check your condition here
   if (element === 2) {
      return true;
   }
   // Do what you want with the elements here
   // ...
});

Throw an exception from forEach. For example,

Example

try {
   [1, 2, 3, 4].forEach((element) => {
      // Check your condition here
      if (element === 2) {
         throw new Error();
      }
      // Do what you want with the elements here
      // ...
   })
} catch (e) {
   // Do nothing.
}
