Remove all falsy values from an array

Question

I would like to remove all falsy values from an array. Falsy values in JavaScript are false, null, 0, \"\", undefined, and NaN.

Answer 1

This should be what you are looking for:

let array = [7, 'ate', '', false, 9, NaN];

function removeFalsyItems(array) {
   // Your result
   let filter = array.filter(Boolean);

   // Empty the array
   array.splice(0, array.length);

   // Push all items from the result to our array
   Array.prototype.push.apply(array, filter);

   return array
}

removeFalsyItems(array) // => [7, 'ate', 9], funny joke btw...
