How to get another object in the same json array with id using angularjs

Question

While filling the form i am sending the id of closedBy selected item like this

if (selectedClosedPlaces != undefined) {
            place.closedBy = selectedClosedPlaces.map(function(g) {
                return g._id;
            });
        } else {
            place.closedBy = ['no_name'];
        }

i am displaying it in html using {{place.closedBy}}.
i will be having json data like this

[{"_id":"56bc720bd0113ab80dd3cb2d","name":{"en":"fshu","de":"hfasj"},"closedBy":["no_name"],"category":{"_id":"56bb2999f197db040dc3b12b","name":{"en":"asdfdsf","de":"asdf"}}}},
{"_id":"56bc7238d0113ab80dd3cb2e","name":{"en":"jsfadk","de":"jkgdj"},"closedBy":["56bc720bd0113ab80dd3cb2d"],"category":{"_id":"56bb2999f197db040dc3b12b","name":{"en":"asdfdsf","de":"asdf"}}}}]

For the first one it will be null, so i gave some name like ['no_name']. after adding the first one only i can select closedBy using selectbox.
now i am returning id for the second one. i am having id for the second one in closedBy using, please check the json above. with that id i need to fetch that particular name
Example: i am having 56bc720bd0113ab80dd3cb2d id with this id i need to show that name.en and name.de =>fshu and hfasj . i am using service to get the values
//service code here

.service('PlaceService', function($http) {
    return {
        init: function(callback) {
            $http.get('/api/places').then(function(place_response) {
                callback(place_response);
            });
        }
    }
})

and in controller

PlaceService.init(function(place_response) {
            $scope.places = place_response.data;
        console.log($scope.places); //giving all the places details like the //above json.
       console.log($scope.places.closedBy); // Not giving closedBy value here

can anyone please help me

Answer 1

to find another first item with specific id inside array of objects you can use _underscore js lib, like this:

var yourWantedId = ...;    
var result = _.findWhere(selectedClosedPlaces, {"_id": yourWantedId });
