A launch button should unlock only after every check passes. One unchecked item should keep the overall status pending.
The launch checklist has content approval, link testing, and image loading. Link testing is still incomplete, so the overall readiness result should be false. We will use every for that decision and handle the surprising empty-checklist case explicitly.

Try the working result
The preview returns false for the original three checks. Set Links tested to done: true and update the preview; readiness becomes true. Now set any other check to false: one failed item is enough to keep the overall result false.
Use Changed data for another preset, or edit the JSON and press Update preview. The controls use sample data; they do not contact a backend.

Follow the code
every returns true only when all visited entries pass. Links tested is false here, so the launch is not ready.
The callback reads item.done. every stops when it encounters a falsy value and returns false; it returns true if all visited entries pass. It is the all-checks counterpart to some. The source checklist remains unchanged, so the page can still show which item prevented readiness.
const data = [
{
"check": "Content approved",
"done": true
},
{
"check": "Links tested",
"done": false
},
{
"check": "Images loaded",
"done": true
}
];
const result = data.every(item => item.done);
console.log(result);
The original sample returns:
false
The failed result is a boolean, not the failed check itself. Keep the full checklist visible when people need to see what remains to be completed.

Take the small version apart
The starter uses the same operation with a simpler layout. Choose Edit code to inspect its HTML and script, or Copy code to save the complete example as index.html. Open that file in your browser to run it without a framework. JSON inputs need double-quoted keys and strings.

Avoid the common mistake
An empty array returns true. Require data.length > 0 too if an empty checklist must not launch.
An empty array returns true. For a launch decision that requires at least one check, use data.length > 0 && data.every(item => item.done). Treat flags as booleans as well: a nonempty string such as "false" is truthy and is not a reliable completion value.
Change one rule, then check it
Complete the missing check, then define the intended behavior for an empty list.
Complete the missing check and verify true, then replace the input with []. Compare the raw every result with your intended launch policy. Add a fourth incomplete check and expect false again. Those tests establish the rule before a real launch button depends on it.

The MDN reference covers the full syntax and browser support. If your saved page does not run its script, the HTML and JavaScript guide helps check the file setup.
Put the example in someone else's hands
A readiness rule should be reviewed with both a fully completed checklist and an empty one. Share this browser-side example so someone can try the edge cases without triggering an actual launch. The demo evaluates readiness; it does not deploy anything.
Copy the complete HTML and use HTML to link to share the runnable file through NOS. Each visitor can try the browser-side example; this does not synchronize edits or add a shared database.
