Finding the array index of an object with Javascript/React.js

Viewed 62633

I have an array that looks like so:

var skillsets = [
  {id: 'one', name: 'george'},
  {id: 'two', name: 'greg'},
  {id: 'three', name: 'jason'},
  {id: 'four', name: 'jane'},
];

what I would like to do is find the row based on a value given in the form of an id with Javascript. For instance, if I put "id='two'" into the function, I'd like "1" to be returned as the row.

I know for a single row array, skillsets.indexOf['value'] would work, but that won't work for this JSON set.

How can I achieve this?

EDIT:

Skills = React.createClass({

    getInitialState: function() {
      return { id: 'default' };
    },

    getIndex(value, arr, prop) {
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        if(arr[i][prop] === value) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1; //to handle the case where the value doesn't exist
    },

    render: function() {

        var index = getIndex(id, skillsets, 'id');

        return (

            <section id="three" className="main style1 special">
                <div className="container">

                    <SkillsHeader skillsets={skillsets[index]}/>
                    {index}
                    <SkillsDetails details={details}/>
                    {index}

                </div>
            </section>

        );

    }
});
