Example 1: how to filter object in javascript
// use filter() function. Let say we have array of object.
let arr = [
{name: "John", age: 30},
{name: "Grin", age: 10},
{name: "Marie", age: 50},
];
//Now I want an array in which person having age more than 40 is not
//there, i.e, I want to filter it out using age property. So
let newArr = arr.filter((person)=>(return person.age <= 40));
//filter function expects a function if it return true then it added
//into new array, otherwise it is ignored. So new Array would be
/* [
{name: "John", age: 30},
{name: "Grin", age: 10},
]
*/
Example 2: how to filter an array of objects in javascript
let arr=[{id:1,title:'A', status:true}, {id:3,title:'B',status:true}, {id:2, title:'xys', status:true}];
//find where title=B
let x = arr.filter((a)=>{if(a.title=='B'){return a}});
console.log(x)//[{id:3,title:'B',status:true}]
Example 3: filter array object by its elements
const things = {
thing: [
{ place: 'here', name: 'stuff' },
{ place: 'there', name: 'morestuff1' },
{ place: 'there', name: 'morestuff2' },
],
};
const removeDuplicates = (array, key) => {
return array.reduce((arr, item) => {
const removed = arr.filter(i => i[key] !== item[key]);
return [...removed, item];
}, []);
};
console.log(removeDuplicates(things.thing, 'place'));
// > [{ place: 'here', name: 'stuff' }, { place: 'there', name: 'morestuff2' }]
