Remove array of objects from another array of objects

Question

Assume we have the following arrays of objects to be compared based on property id:

a = [{\'id\':\'1\', \'name\':\'a1\'}, {\'id\':\'2\', \'name\':\'         


        

Answer 1

How about this solution? It assumes that 'b' is also an array so for each element of 'a' you check if there is a matching object in 'b'. If there is a matching object then return a false in the filter function so that that element is discarded.

var a = [{
  'id': '1',
  'name': 'a1'
}, {
  'id': '2',
  'name': 'a2'
}, {
  'id': '3',
  'name': 'a3'
}]
var b = [{
  'id': '2',
  'name': 'a2'
}]

var c = a.filter(function(objFromA) {
  return !b.find(function(objFromB) {
    return objFromA.id === objFromB.id
  })
})

console.log(c)
