How can I remove a index in the array on the javascript?

Question

My javascript code like this :

<script type="text/javascript">
 var clubs = [ 
 {id: 1, name : 'chelsea'},
 {id: 2, name : 'city'},
 {id: 3, name : 'liverpool'}
 ];
 if(clubs.indexOf(2) != -1)
 clubs.splice(2, 1)
 console.log(clubs)
</script>

For example, I want to delete the index with id = 2

I try like that, but it does not work. The index with id = 2 is not deleted

How can I solve this problem?

• H77: Your array consists of objects but you're looking for the index of the value 2. Have a look here for solutions.

Answer 1

Here is a way to solve your problem, check this :

var clubs = [
 { id: 1, name: 'chelsea' },
 { id: 2, name: 'city' },
 { id: 3, name: 'liverpool' }
];
for (var i = 0; i < clubs.length; i++) {
 if (clubs[i].id == 2) {
 clubs.splice(i, 1);
 break;
 }
}
console.log(clubs);

Answer 2

Use Array.filter

var clubs = [ 
 {id: 1, name : 'chelsea'},
 {id: 2, name : 'city'},
 {id: 3, name : 'liverpool'}
 ];
clubs = clubs.filter(function(item){
 return item.id !== 2;
});
console.log(clubs);

• Nikhil Aggarwal: @downvoter - Reason please? What's the point of down-vote if the reason is not specified?
• H77: Why not point to one of the many duplicate questions instead of repeating a solution here? Plenty of solutions for this on SO.
• Aluan Haddad: @nikhilagw I think this is the only decent answer suggested. I didn't downvote it. But I think H77 is right.
• H77: It's the top answer here. Like I said.. plenty of duplicates. No reason to add more.
• moses toh: @nikhilagw Great. It works. Thanks a lot. I accept your answer and I voted for it. It's help me :)

Answer 3

The element is not getting deleted because of your if statement, you are checking if 2 is present or not in array, but there is nothing like 2 in array as it is an array of objects. So the condition always remains false.
