Answer 1

Underscore has a _without() method perfect for removing an item from an array, especially if you have the object to remove.

Returns a copy of the array with all instances of the values removed.

_.without(["bob", "sam", "fred"], "sam");

=> ["bob", "fred"]

Works with more complex objects too.

var bob = { Name: "Bob", Age: 35 };
var sam = { Name: "Sam", Age: 19 };
var fred = { Name: "Fred", Age: 50 };

var people = [bob, sam, fred]

_.without(people, sam);

=> [{ Name: "Bob", Age: 35 }, { Name: "Fred", Age: 50 }];

If you don't have the item to remove, just a property of it, you can use _.findWhere and then _.without.
