The best way to remove array element by value

Question

I have an array like this

arr = [\"orange\",\"red\",\"black\",\"white\"]

I want to augment the array object defining a deleteElem()<

Answer 1

Back when I was new to coding I could hardly tell what splice was doing, and even today it feels less readable.

But readability counts.

I would rather use the filter method like so:

arr = ["orange","red","black","white","red"]

arr = arr.filter(val => val !== "red");

console.log(arr) // ["orange","black","white"]

Note how all occurrences of "red" are removed from the array.

From there, you can easily work with more complex data such as array of objects.

arr = arr.filter(obj => obj.prop !== "red");
