This question already has an answer here:
remove object from nested array
4 answers
I have the following object:
{
id: 1,
children: [
{id: 2},
{id: 3, children: [
{id: 4 }
]}
]
}
I want to be able to remove a specific object by using the id property (e.g. remove the object with an id of 4). I can obviously find the object by using arr.findIndex but how do I remove it from the enclosing array? I'm struggling with finding how to get the parent array so I can remove it. Again I know how to remove from an array using splice but the problem I'm having is how to do this programmatically so I can remove any item from anywhere in a nested structure as above.

Try following
let obj = {id: 1,children: [{id: 2},{id: 3, children: [{id: 4 }]}]};
/* o is object or sub-object
* k is id to be deleted
* p is parent of object, same as o for first time
* index is the index of item in the children array */
function removeKey(o, k, p=o, index) {
if(o.id === k) { // if this is the object that needs to be removed
// For first level object, make the object empty
if(o.id === p.id) {delete o.children; delete o.id}
// For others remove it from the children array
else p.children.splice(index,1);
} else if(o.children) { // if the object is not a match and has children
// iterate over the children and check and remove key
for (let i = 0; i < o.children.length; i++) {
if(removeKey(o.children[i], k, o, i)) break;
}
}
}
removeKey(obj, 4);
