How to skip over an element in .map()?

Question

How can I skip an array element in .map?

My code:

var sources = images.map(function (img) {
    if(img.src.split(\'.\').pop() === \"json

Since 2019, Array.prototype.flatMap is a good option.

images.flatMap(({src}) => src.endsWith('.json') ? [] : src);

From MDN:

flatMap can be used as a way to add and remove items (modify the number of items) during a map. In other words, it allows you to map many items to many items (by handling each input item separately), rather than always one-to-one. In this sense, it works like the opposite of filter. Simply return a 1-element array to keep the item, a multiple-element array to add items, or a 0-element array to remove the item.
