Angular Find Substring in String

There are a few ways to find a substring in a string in Angular. Here are two of the most common methods:

Using the indexOf() method

The indexOf() method returns the index of the first occurrence of a substring in a string. If the substring is not found, it returns -1.

const str = 'This is a string';
const substring = 'is';
const index = str.indexOf(substring);
console.log(index); // Output: 2

Using the includes() method

The includes() method returns true if a substring is found in a string, and false if it is not.

const str = 'This is a string';
const substring = 'is';
const hasSubstring = str.includes(substring);
console.log(hasSubstring); // Output: true

Here is an example of how to use the indexOf() method to find all occurrences of a substring in a string:

const str = 'This is a string with is in it twice';
const substring = 'is';
let index = str.indexOf(substring);
while (index !== -1) {
  console.log(index);
  index = str.indexOf(substring, index + 1);
}

This code will print the following output:
