javascript list remove code example

Example 1: remove a particular element from array

var colors = ["red","blue","car","green"];
var carIndex = colors.indexOf("car");//get  "car" index
//remove car from the colors array
colors.splice(carIndex, 1); // colors = ["red","blue","green"]

Example 2: how to delete an element of an array in javascript

//you can use two functions depending of what you want to do:

let animals1 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
delete animals1[1]
/*this deletes all the information inside "cat" but the element still exists
so now you'll have this:*/
console.log(animals1)//animals1 = ["dog", undefined, "mouse"]

//if you want to delete it completely, you have to use array.splice:

let animals2 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
animals2.splice(1, 1)
/*the first number means the position from which you want to start to delete
and the second is how much elements will be deleted*/
console.log(animals2)//animals2 = ["dog", "mouse"]
/*Now you don't have undefined
If you did this:*/
let animals3 = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
animals3.splice(0, 2)//you'll have this:
console.log(animals3)//animals 3 = "mouse"
/*This happens because I put a 2 in the second parameter so it deleted
two elements from position 0
Try copying this code in your console and whatch*/

Example 3: pop up element from specific index in array

let items = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let index = items.indexOf('a')
let numberOfElementToRemove = 1;
if (index !== -1) { items.splice(index,numberOfElementToRemove)}

Example 4: delete from list javascript

delete list[item]
