Javascript deleting object literal item(s) inside loop

Question

Hey all I am trying to delete a few items inside my object:

if (e = j[a].apply(j, g), e !== c && e !== j)
    $.each(j.data[0], function (key, value) {
       console.log(key, value);
       j.data.splice(1, 1);
    });

return h = e, !1

However, that does not seem to delete the item environment sine that is #1 and bomDescription is #0.

I also tried:

j[0].pop()

j.data[0].pop()

j.data[0].splice(1, 1)

Which non of the above work or cause an error.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Answer 1

If your object looks something like this (as it may seem from that image).

const j = {
  data: {
    bomDescription: "hjtyj",
    environment: 2,
    ...
  }
}

Then to delete the environment property you can use delete statement like this.

const j = {
  data: {
    bomDescription: "hjtyj",
    environment: 2
  }
}

console.log(j.data);
delete j.data.environment;
console.log(j.data);

EDIT

To delete property based on its value you can do this.

const j = {
  data: {
    bomDescription: "hjtyj",
    environment: 2
  }
}

const removePropertyByValue = (obj, value) => {
  for (const prop in obj) {
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop) && obj[prop] === value) {
      delete obj[prop];
    }
  }
}

console.log(j.data);
removePropertyByValue(j.data, 2);
console.log(j.data);

EDIT II

If the data property is an array of objects then you can do this.

const j = {
  data: [{
    bomDescription: "hjtyj",
    environment: 2
  }]
}

const removePropertyByValue = (obj, value) => {
  for (const prop in obj) {
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop) && obj[prop] === value) {
      delete obj[prop];
    }
  }
}

console.log(j.data[0]);
removePropertyByValue(j.data[0], 2);
console.log(j.data[0]);
