drop object in array javascript code example
Example 1: 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
myArray.splice(0,2)
//using filter method
let itemToBeRemoved = ["Sunday", "Monday"]
var filteredArray = myArray.filter(item => !itemToBeRemoved.includes(item))
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*/
