how to remove json object key and value.?

问题

I have a json object as shown below. where i want to delete the "otherIndustry" entry and its value by using below code which doesn't worked.

var updatedjsonobj = delete myjsonobj['otherIndustry'];

How to remove Json object specific key and its value. Below is my example json object where i want to remove "otherIndustry" key and its value.

var myjsonobj =  {
      "employeeid": "160915848",
      "firstName": "tet",
      "lastName": "test",
      "email": "test@email.com",
      "country": "Brasil",
      "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
      "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
      "currentOrganization": "test",
      "salary": "1234567"
    };
delete myjsonobj ['otherIndustry'];
console.log(myjsonobj);

where the log still prints the same object without removing 'otherIndustry' entry from the object.

回答1:

delete operator is used to remove an object property.

delete operator does not returns the new object, only returns a boolean: true or false.

In the other hand, after interpreter executes var updatedjsonobj = delete myjsonobj['otherIndustry']; , updatedjsonobj variable will store a boolean value.

How to remove Json object specific key and its value ?

You just need to know the property name in order to delete it from the object's properties.

delete myjsonobj['otherIndustry'];

let myjsonobj = {
  "employeeid": "160915848",
  "firstName": "tet",
  "lastName": "test",
  "email": "test@email.com",
  "country": "Brasil",
  "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "currentOrganization": "test",
  "salary": "1234567"
}
delete myjsonobj['otherIndustry'];
console.log(myjsonobj);

If you want to remove a key when you know the value you can use Object.keys function which returns an array of a given object's own enumerable properties.

let value="test";
let myjsonobj = {
      "employeeid": "160915848",
      "firstName": "tet",
      "lastName": "test",
      "email": "test@email.com",
      "country": "Brasil",
      "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
      "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
      "currentOrganization": "test",
      "salary": "1234567"
}
Object.keys(myjsonobj).forEach(function(key){
  if(myjsonobj[key]==value)
    delete myjsonobj[key];
});
console.log(myjsonobj);

Follow this, it can be like what you are looking:

var obj = {
    Objone: 'one',
    Objtwo: 'two'
};

var key = "Objone";
delete obj[key];
console.log(obj); // prints { "objtwo": two}

There are several ways to do this, lets see them one by one:

delete method: The most common way

const myObject = {
    "employeeid": "160915848",
    "firstName": "tet",
    "lastName": "test",
    "email": "test@email.com",
    "country": "Brasil",
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "currentOrganization": "test",
    "salary": "1234567"
};

delete myObject['currentIndustry'];
// OR delete myObject.currentIndustry;
  
console.log(myObject);

By making key value undefined: Alternate & a faster way:

let myObject = {
    "employeeid": "160915848",
    "firstName": "tet",
    "lastName": "test",
    "email": "test@email.com",
    "country": "Brasil",
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "currentOrganization": "test",
    "salary": "1234567"
  };

myObject.currentIndustry = undefined;
myObject = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(myObject));

console.log(myObject);

With es6 spread Operator:

const myObject = {
    "employeeid": "160915848",
    "firstName": "tet",
    "lastName": "test",
    "email": "test@email.com",
    "country": "Brasil",
    "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "currentOrganization": "test",
    "salary": "1234567"
};


const {currentIndustry, ...filteredObject} = myObject;
console.log(filteredObject);

Or if you can use omit() of underscore js library:

const filteredObject = _.omit(currentIndustry, 'myObject');
console.log(filteredObject);

When to use what??

If you don't wanna create a new filtered object, simply go for either option 1 or 2. Make sure you define your object with let while going with the second option as we are overriding the values. Or else you can use any of them.

hope this helps :)

Here is one more example. (check the reference)

const myObject = {
  "employeeid": "160915848",
  "firstName": "tet",
  "lastName": "test",
  "email": "test@email.com",
  "country": "Brasil",
  "currentIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "otherIndustry": "aaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "currentOrganization": "test",
  "salary": "1234567"
};
const {otherIndustry, ...otherIndustry2} = myObject;
console.log(otherIndustry2);

.as-console-wrapper {
  max-height: 100% !important;
  top: 0;
}

I had issues with trying to delete a returned JSON object and found that it was actually a string. If you JSON.parse() before deleting you can be sure your key will get deleted.

let obj;
console.log(this.getBody()); // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805,"BRL":4.0851}
obj = this.getBody();
delete obj["BRL"];
console.log(obj) // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805,"BRL":4.0851}
obj = JSON.parse(this.getBody());
delete obj["BRL"];
console.log(obj) // {"AED":3.6729,"AZN":1.69805}
