This assumes you are familiar with if statements in NodeJS. If not, check out my article NodeJS - Getting Started with if else statements.
Here is an example with an if statement using includes.
const my_string = "Hello World";
console.log(my_string.toLowerCase());
if (my_string.toLowerCase().includes('hello')) {
console.log("my_string includes hello");
} else {
console.log("my_string does NOT include hello");
}
And here is an example using the test method. This has the advantage of being able to pass in a regular expression so that multiple strings can be matched.
const my_string = "Hello World";
if (/hello|world/.test(my_string.toLowerCase())) {
console.log("my_string includes hello or world");
} else {
console.log("my_string does NOT include hello or world");
}
