Remove object from array of objects in Javascript

splice-object-array.js

// we have an array of objects, we want to remove one object using only the id property
const apps = [{id:34,name:'My App',another:'thing'},{id:37,name:'My New App',another:'things'}];

// get index of object with id of 37
const removeIndex = apps.findIndex( item => item.id === 37 );
// remove object
apps.splice( removeIndex, 1 );




/*** Code above updated 7/21 with findIndex, a much faster method. Old code below for reference. ***/
