remove items from array javascript code example

Example 1: remove a particular element from array

Example 4: 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 5: remove element from array in js

var myArray = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];

//removing element using splice method -- 
//arr.splice(index of the item to be removed, number of elements to be removed)
//Here lets remove Sunday -- index 0 and Monday -- index 1

//using filter method
let itemToBeRemoved = ["Sunday", "Monday"]
var filteredArray = myArray.filter(item => !itemToBeRemoved.includes(item))

Example 6: how to remove element from array in javascript

/* there are 3 ways to do so
1) pop(), which removes the last element
2) shift(), which removes the first element
3) splice(), which removes any element with a specified index.
of these only splice() takes parameters. the first parameter it takes is the
index of the element to be removed, an integer. the second is the number of 
elements to be removed, again integer. the third and fourth etc. are optional,
which is to be used if you want to replace them. Example: */
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
numbers.pop(); // removes 5
numbers.shift(); // removes 1
let threeIndex = numbers.indexOf(3); // used for long arrays
numbers.splice(threeIndex, 1); // without replacement
numbers.splice(threeIndex, 1, 7) // 3 will now be replaced by 7
