Unless you are looping over massive arrays, it doesn't really matter in my opinion. I'd much value readability over a couple of milliseconds. If it proved to be a performance issue in the grand scheme of things it could always be replaced with a for loop.
Actually this is also possible with forEach, since a function is called for each element. just do a return
EDIT: This was a misunderstanding of the desired behavior. Using return will just skip the current element and continue with the rest of the array, see my comment below
Ah I'm sorry I understood you wrong. I thought you meant skipping an element like continue. You meant completely stop after a certain element. This is currently not possible with forEach, but you could use for (obj of array) or some instead to achieve that behavior
Sorry again for the misunderstanding

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
The reason why people would use a for loop over a foreach loop is for speed. For loops perform much faster than a foreach

Agreed, I'll almost always opt for
forEach. Thoughforallows you to break out early, which is nice when needed.Actually this is also possible with

You sure about that? AFAIK
forEachwill continue to run until the end of the array.jsfiddle.net/jamesbrndwgn/mz0ynkvb/
Unless there's some trick I'm not aware of?
