How do I remove an object from an array with JavaScript?

Question

I have an JavaScript object like this:

id="1";
name = "serdar";

and I have an Array which contains many objects of above. How can I remove an object from that array such as like that:

obj[1].remove();

Answer 1

Well splice works:

var arr = [{id:1,name:'serdar'}];
arr.splice(0,1);
// []

Do NOT use the delete operator on Arrays. delete will not remove an entry from an Array, it will simply replace it with undefined.

var arr = [0,1,2];
delete arr[1];
// [0, undefined, 2]

But maybe you want something like this?

var removeByAttr = function(arr, attr, value){
    var i = arr.length;
    while(i--){
       if( arr[i] 
           && arr[i].hasOwnProperty(attr) 
           && (arguments.length > 2 && arr[i][attr] === value ) ){ 

           arr.splice(i,1);

       }
    }
    return arr;
}

Just an example below.

var arr = [{id:1,name:'serdar'}, {id:2,name:'alfalfa'},{id:3,name:'joe'}];
removeByAttr(arr, 'id', 1);   
// [{id:2,name:'alfalfa'}, {id:3,name:'joe'}]

removeByAttr(arr, 'name', 'joe');
// [{id:2,name:'alfalfa'}]
