Question

I have an array of objects:

var items = [{ id: 1, text: \"test1\" }, { id: 2, text: \"test2\" }, { id: 3, text: \"test3\"}];

I have the fol

Answer 1

Traverse the array by using a plain loop and then remove the matching item by using splice():

for( var i=0; i<items.length; i++ ) {
  if( items[i].id == itemToRemove.id ) {
    items.splice( i, 1 );  // remove the item
    break; // finish the loop, as we already found the item
  }
}

Answer 2

Use filter:

items.filter(function (item) {
    return item.id !== 2 || item.text !== "text2";
});

It's generally not a good idea to mutate the original array or else I would recommend Sirko's answer. The filter method produces a whole new array. It doesn't mutate the original array.
