javascript delete element array 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: remove element from array javascript

// Remove single item
function removeItemOnce(arr, value) {
   var index = arr.indexOf(value);
   if (index > -1) {
      arr.splice(index, 1);
   }
   return arr;
}

// Remove all items
function removeItemAll(arr, value) {
   var i = 0;
   while (i < arr.length) {
      if (arr[i] === value) {
         arr.splice(i, 1);
      } else {
         ++i;
      }
   }
   return arr;
}

// Usage
console.log(removeItemOnce([2, 5, 9, 1, 5, 8, 5], 5));
console.log(removeItemAll([2, 5, 9, 1, 5, 8, 5], 5));

Example 3: delete from array javascript

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0];var removed = arr.splice(2,2);/*removed === [3, 4]arr === [1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]*/

Example 4: remove from array javascript

let numbers = [1,2,3,4]

// to remove last element
let last_num = numbers.pop();
// numbers will now be [1,2,3]

// to remove first element
let first_num = numbers.shift();
//numbers will now be [2,3]

// to remove at an index
let number_index = 1
let index_num = numbers.splice(number_index,1); //removes 1 element at index 1
//numbers will now be [2]

//these methods will modify the numbers array and return the removed element

Example 5: javascript array clear

var cars = ["mazda","honda","tesla"];
	cars = []; // clear/empty the array

Example 6: remove a value to an array of javascript

var data = [1, 2, 3];

// remove a specific value
// splice(starting index, how many values to remove);
data.splice(1, 1);
// data = [1, 3];

// remove last element
data.pop();
// data = [1, 2];
