Remove Object from Array using JavaScript

Question

How can I remove an object from an array? I wish to remove the object that includes name Kristian from someArray. For example:

som         


        

Answer 1

This answer

for (var i =0; i < someArray.length; i++)
   if (someArray[i].name === "Kristian") {
      someArray.splice(i,1);
   }

is not working for multiple records fulfilling the condition. If you have two such consecutive records, only the first one is removed, and the other one skipped. You have to use:

for (var i = someArray.length - 1; i>= 0; i--)
   ...

instead .

Answer 2

Use javascript's splice() function.

Answer 3

How about this?

$.each(someArray, function(i){
    if(someArray[i].name === 'Kristian') {
        someArray.splice(i,1);
        return false;
    }
});

Answer 4

The clean solution would be to use Array.filter:

var filtered = someArray.filter(function(el) { return el.Name != "Kristian"; }); 

The problem with this is that it does not work on IE < 9. However, you can include code from a Javascript library (e.g. underscore.js) that implements this for any browser.

Answer 5

someArray = jQuery.grep(someArray , function (value) {
        return value.name != 'Kristian';
});

Answer 6

You can use map function also.

someArray = [{name:"Kristian", lines:"2,5,10"},{name:"John",lines:"1,19,26,96"}];
newArray=[];
someArray.map(function(obj, index){
    if(obj.name !== "Kristian"){
       newArray.push(obj);
    }
});
someArray = newArray;
console.log(someArray);
