Comparing two arrays, checking for matching values

Amit_95 — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 10:07:43 GMT

I have a repeater field which allows user to add text.

I've created an array which stores all these repeater values into an array called topics.

{% set topics = [] %}  {% for item in module.add_topics.topics %} {% set topic_option = item|striptags %} {% do topics.append( topic_option ) %} {% endfor %}

The above is basically a predefined list. I now want to compare values in the above array to all blog tags that exist.

Demo:

{% set all_tags = blog_topics('default' , 250) %} {{ all_tags }}

So from the above two arrays, Data and Accounting are in both. I now want to create another array which has these matching values.

How can I go about this?

Hey @Amit_95

Have you tried "intersect"?

Using that filter it should return a dict with the matching objects.
