How to omit specific properties from an object in JavaScript

Question

Is there a clean way to return a new object that omits certain properties that the original object contains without having to use something like lodash?

Answer 1

If you know the list of the properties that you want preserved as well as omitted, the following "whitelisting" approach should work:

const exampleFilter = ({ keepMe, keepMeToo }) => ({ keepMe, keepMeToo })

console.log(
  exampleFilter({
    keepMe: 'keepMe',
    keepMeToo: 'keepMeToo',
    omitMe: 'omitMe',
    omitMeToo: 'omitMeToo'
  })
)
