array-remove-item

remove item from array

Just a simple function to remove an item from an Array. Works well in both, the browser & node.

install

npm i -S array-remove-item

and use it

import removeItemFromArray from 'array-remove-item'
// OR
const removeItemFromArray = require('array-remove-item')

const abcde = removeItemFromArray(['a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 1)
console.log(abcde) // ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

NOTE: it requires the rest operator to work. If you are not transpiling your code with Babel's es2015 preset (to work on the browser) or are using a node version older than 5, you will have to use the compiled version: require(array-remove-item/dist/array-remove-item.js).

behavior

• removeItemFromArray is a pure function, it does not mutate the provided array.
• returns the same array if
  • the position provided is not a number.
  • no position is provided
  • the position is out of the range of the array (grater than arr.length or less than 0)
