How do I remove an array item in TypeScript?

Question

I have an array that I\'ve created in TypeScript and it has a property that I use as a key. If I have that key, how can I remove an item from it?

Answer 1

Use this, if you need to remove a given object from an array and you want to be sure of the following:

• the list is not reinitialized
• the array length is properly updated

    const objWithIdToRemove;
    const objIndex = this.objectsArray.findIndex(obj => obj.id === objWithIdToRemove);
    if (objIndex > -1) {
      this.objectsArray.splice(objIndex, 1);
    }
