In a bit of a spoiler, there actually is no contains function in JavaScript but if you want to use JavaScript to check if a string contains a substring.
There are a few ways you can check if a certain substring exists in a string with JavaScript but we’ll focus on a classic, pre-ES6 way, using the indexOf function which will give you the most browser compatibility.
Using the indexOf function you check where a JavaScript string contains characters that you pass as an argument. If the string exists, you get a positive value indicating the position of the substring in the base string. If the string doesn’t exist, you receive a value of -1.
By checking the returned value of indexOf you can determine whether the string contains the substring.
This traditional method will appear in a lot of legacy code but we’ll also take a quick look at the ES6 version of this technique which is using the string includes function which operates in a similar way as indexOf but returns a boolean value.
