remove objects from array by object property

Question

var listToDelete = [\'abc\', \'efg\'];

var arrayOfObjects = [{id:\'abc\',name:\'oh\'}, // delete me
                      {id:\'efg\',name:\'em\'}, // delete me
            


        

Answer 1

Loop in reverse by decrementing i to avoid the problem:

for (var i = arrayOfObjects.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    var obj = arrayOfObjects[i];

    if (listToDelete.indexOf(obj.id) !== -1) {
        arrayOfObjects.splice(i, 1);
    }
}

Or use filter:

var newArray = arrayOfObjects.filter(function(obj) {
    return listToDelete.indexOf(obj.id) === -1;
});
