Javascript - remove an array item by value [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here are some helper functions I use:

Array.contains = function (arr, key) {
    for (var i = arr.length; i--;) {
        if (arr[i] === key) return true;
    }
    return false;
};

Array.add = function (arr, key, value) {
    for (var i = arr.length; i--;) {
        if (arr[i] === key) return arr[key] = value;
    }
    this.push(key);
};

Array.remove = function (arr, key) {
    for (var i = arr.length; i--;) {
        if (arr[i] === key) return arr.splice(i, 1);
    }
};
