Find and remove objects in an array based on a key value in JavaScript
arrays, javascript, jquery, object
Solution
I can grep the array for the id, but how can I delete the entire object where id == 88
Simply filter by the opposite predicate:
var data = $.grep(data, function(e){
return e.id != id;
});
Problem
I have been trying several approaches on how to find an object in an array, where ID = var, and if found, remove the object from the array and return the new array of objects. Data: ``` [ {"id":"88","name":"Lets go testing"}, {"id":"99","name":"Have fun boys and girls"}, {"id":"108","name":"You are awesome!"} ] ``` I'm able to search the array using jQuery $grep; ``` var id = 88; var result = $.grep(data, function(e){ return e.id == id; }); ``` But how can I delete the entire object when id == 88, and return data like the following? Data: ``` [ {"id":"99", "name":"Have fun boys and girls"}, {"id":"108", "name":"You are awesome!"} ] ```
