Filter out an array with null values, underscore

Question

I have this array:

[null, {name:\'John\'}, null, {name:\'Jane\'}]

I want to remove the null values. Is there an easy way to do this with unders

Answer 1

The best solution is to use compact, but the default behaviour of the filter function when you don't include a specific truth test function is to remove falsy values

For example:

_.filter([null, {name:'John'}, null, {name:'Jane'}])

returns a object array without the nulls:

[{name:'John'}, {name:'Jane'}]
