Using one array to help filter the other in JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array and objects like these −
Objects:
const main = [ {name: "Karan", age: 34}, {name: "Aayush", age: 24}, {name: "Ameesh", age: 23}, {name: "Joy", age: 33}, {name: "Siddarth", age: 43}, {name: "Nakul", age: 31}, {name: "Anmol", age: 21}, ];
Array:
const names = ["Karan", "Joy", "Siddarth", "Ameesh"];
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two such arrays and filters the first array in place to contain only those objects whose name property is included in the second array.
Therefore, let’s write the code for this function −
Example
The code for this will be −
const main = [ {name: "Karan", age: 34}, {name: "Aayush", age: 24}, {name: "Ameesh", age: 23}, {name: "Joy", age: 33}, {name: "Siddarth", age: 43}, {name: "Nakul", age: 31}, {name: "Anmol", age: 21}, ]; const names = ["Karan", "Joy", "Siddarth", "Ameesh"]; const filterUnwanted = (main, names) => { for(let i = 0; i < main.length; ){ if(names.includes(main[i].name)){ i++; continue; }; main.splice(i, 1); }; }; filterUnwanted(main, names); console.log(main);
Output
The output in the console will be −
[ { name: 'Karan', age: 34 }, { name: 'Ameesh', age: 23 }, { name: 'Joy', age: 33 }, { name: 'Siddarth', age: 43 } ]
