This is what I came up with:

function getKMMacroAndGroupByMacroUUID(macroUUID, plist) {
    var _result = undefined;
    plist.find(function(group) {
        var macros = group.macros;
        if (!macros) {
            return false;
        }

        var macro = macros.find(function(m) {
            return m.uid === macroUUID;
        });
        if (macro) {
            _result = { macro: macro, group: group };
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    });
    return _result;
}

Using “find” allows me to exit the iteration loops immediately if I get a hit. Using a result variable in the outer scope allows the result to be accessible after the loops exit.

Is there a better way? This doesn’t smell too awful.
