like [].find(), but return a value of your choosing

someValue.js

function findValue(collection, predicate) {
    let value;

    collection.some(c => {
        const p = predicate(c)

        if (p) {
            value = p;

            return true;
        }

        return false;
    });

    return value;
}

const users = [
    { name : "Kevin", id : 123 },
    { name : "someoneElse", id : 456 }
];

function getIdFromName(_name) {
    return findValue(users, ({ name, id }) => name === _name ? id : false);
}

getIdFromName("Kevin");
// 123
