JavaScript get elements from an object array that are not in another

Question

I\'m new in JavaScript programming and I have two object arrays that have the following structure:

myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {fo         


        

Answer 1

Here is a small solution with just filter and a map with the foo attribute.

const myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}];
const mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}];

const exclude = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.filter(o1 => arr2.map(o2 => o2.foo).indexOf(o1.foo) === -1);

console.log(exclude(myFirstObjArray, mySecondObjArray));
console.log(exclude(mySecondObjArray, myFirstObjArray));
