Filter and delete filtered elements in an array

Question

I want to remove specific elements in the original array (which is var a). I filter() that array and splice() returned new array. but

Answer 1

You can assign filter array to a itself and then apply splice over it.

Example below:

var a = [{name:'tc_001'}, {name:'tc_002'}, {name:'tc_003'}]
a = a.filter(function (e) {
    return e.name === 'tc_001';
});

a.splice(0,1);
