javascript using array.filter to create object code example

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: 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' }]
