I have an angular foreach loop and i want to break from loop if i match a value. The following code does not work.

angular.forEach([0,1,2], function(count){
  if(count == 1){
    break;
  }
});

How can i get this?

The angular.forEach loop can't break on a condition match.

My personal advice is to use a NATIVE FOR loop instead of angular.forEach.

The NATIVE FOR loop is around 90% faster then other for loops.

For loop break , for loop test result

USE FOR loop IN ANGULAR:

var numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

for (var i = 0, len = numbers.length; i < len; i++) {
  if (numbers[i] === 1) {
    console.log('Loop is going to break.'); 
    break;
  }
  console.log('Loop will continue.');
}
