这是Underscorejs方法的一个小扩展，并使用Lodash代替:

var getKeyByValue = function(searchValue) {
  return _.findKey(hash, function(hashValue) {
    return searchValue === hashValue;
  });
}

FindKey将搜索并返回与值匹配的第一个键。 如果你想要最后一个匹配，使用FindLastKey代替。

这里有一个Lodash解决方案，适用于flat key =>值对象，而不是嵌套对象。已接受的答案建议使用_。findKey适用于具有嵌套对象的对象，但在这种常见情况下不起作用。

这种方法将对象颠倒，将键交换为值，然后通过查找新(颠倒的)对象上的值来查找键。如果没有找到键，则返回false，我更喜欢undefined，但你可以很容易地在_的第三个参数中交换它。getKey()中的get方法。

// Get an object's key by value var getKey = function( obj, value ) { var inverse = _.invert( obj ); return _.get( inverse, value, false ); }; // US states used as an example var states = { "AL": "Alabama", "AK": "Alaska", "AS": "American Samoa", "AZ": "Arizona", "AR": "Arkansas", "CA": "California", "CO": "Colorado", "CT": "Connecticut", "DE": "Delaware", "DC": "District Of Columbia", "FM": "Federated States Of Micronesia", "FL": "Florida", "GA": "Georgia", "GU": "Guam", "HI": "Hawaii", "ID": "Idaho", "IL": "Illinois", "IN": "Indiana", "IA": "Iowa", "KS": "Kansas", "KY": "Kentucky", "LA": "Louisiana", "ME": "Maine", "MH": "Marshall Islands", "MD": "Maryland", "MA": "Massachusetts", "MI": "Michigan", "MN": "Minnesota", "MS": "Mississippi", "MO": "Missouri", "MT": "Montana", "NE": "Nebraska", "NV": "Nevada", "NH": "New Hampshire", "NJ": "New Jersey", "NM": "New Mexico", "NY": "New York", "NC": "North Carolina", "ND": "North Dakota", "MP": "Northern Mariana Islands", "OH": "Ohio", "OK": "Oklahoma", "OR": "Oregon", "PW": "Palau", "PA": "Pennsylvania", "PR": "Puerto Rico", "RI": "Rhode Island", "SC": "South Carolina", "SD": "South Dakota", "TN": "Tennessee", "TX": "Texas", "UT": "Utah", "VT": "Vermont", "VI": "Virgin Islands", "VA": "Virginia", "WA": "Washington", "WV": "West Virginia", "WI": "Wisconsin", "WY": "Wyoming" }; console.log( 'The key for "Massachusetts" is "' + getKey( states, 'Massachusetts' ) + '"' ); <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.4/lodash.min.js"></script>

我知道我迟到了，但是你觉得我今天做的这个EMCMAScript 2017解决方案怎么样?它处理多个匹配，因为如果两个键有相同的值会发生什么?这就是我创建这个小片段的原因。

当有一个匹配时，它只返回一个字符串，但当有几个匹配时，它返回一个数组。

let object = { nine_eleven_was_a_inside_job: false, javascript_isnt_useful: false } // Complex, dirty but useful. Handle mutiple matchs which is the main difficulty. Object.prototype.getKeyByValue = function (val) { let array = []; let array2 = []; // Get all the key in the object. for(const [key] of Object.entries(this)) { if (this[key] == val) { // Putting them in the 1st array. array.push(key) } } // List all the value of the 1st array. for(key of array) { // "If one of the key in the array is equal to the value passed in the function (val), it means that 'val' correspond to it." if(this[key] == val) { // Push all the matchs. array2.push(key); } } // Check the lenght of the array. if (array2.length < 2) { // If it's under 2, only return the single value but not in the array. return array2[0]; } else { // If it's above or equal to 2, return the entire array. return array2; } } /* Basic way to do it wich doesn't handle multiple matchs. let getKeyByValue = function (object, val) { for(const [key, content] of Object.entries(object)) { if (object[key] === val) { return key } } } */ console.log(object.getKeyByValue(false))

var a = new Array(); 
    a.push({"1": "apple", "2": "banana"}); 
    a.push({"3": "coconut", "4": "mango"});

    GetIndexByValue(a, "coconut");

    function GetIndexByValue(arrayName, value) {  
    var keyName = "";
    var index = -1;
    for (var i = 0; i < arrayName.length; i++) { 
       var obj = arrayName[i]; 
            for (var key in obj) {          
                if (obj[key] == value) { 
                    keyName = key; 
                    index = i;
                } 
            } 
        }
        //console.log(index); 
        return index;
    } 

来到这里(2022年)，寻找OP问题的近似变体。变化:

如何根据一个值找到一个对象键，其中键可以保存值的集合?

对于这个用例，从equal(===)切换到.includes():

const foo = ['a', 'b','c'];
const bar = ['x', 'y', 'z'];
const bat = [2, 5, 'z'];
const obj = {foo: foo, bar: bar, bat: bat};

const findMe = (v) => {
  return Object.keys(obj).filter((k) => obj[k].includes(v))
}

findMe('y') // ['bar']
findMe('z') // ['bar', 'bat']

如果你正在使用下划线或Lodash库，你可以使用_。findKey功能:

var users = {
  'barney':  { 'age': 36, 'active': true },
  'fred':    { 'age': 40, 'active': false },
  'pebbles': { 'age': 1,  'active': true }
};

_.findKey(users, function(o) { return o.age < 40; });
// => 'barney' (iteration order is not guaranteed)

// The `_.matches` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, { 'age': 1, 'active': true });
// => 'pebbles'

// The `_.matchesProperty` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, ['active', false]);
// => 'fred'

// The `_.property` iteratee shorthand.
_.findKey(users, 'active');
// => 'barney'
