I have an array of objects and when I stringify, it looks like this:
"[[{"entrReqInv": "Neither"},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}]]"
How can I remove the empty {}
s?

var newArray = array.filter(value => Object.keys(value).length !== 0);
You can use Array.prototype.filter
to remove the empty objects before stringifying.
JSON.stringify(array.filter(function(el) {
// keep element if it's not an object, or if it's a non-empty object
return typeof el != "object" || Array.isArray(el) || Object.keys(el).length > 0;
});
I would recommend using the following code:
var newArray = array.filter(value => JSON.stringify(value) !== '{}');
I did not use Object.keys(value).length !== 0 because it not only removes empty objects { } but also removes empty arrays [ ]. If you only want to remove empty objects, use the above method.
Simpler to understand:
let primaryArray = [{key:'value'},{},{},{}]
let removeObsoletesArray = []
primaryArray.forEach( element => {
if(element.length > 0){
removeObsoletesArray.push(element)
}
})
Here's what I would do, for progressive enhancement reasons:
var aryAry = [[{prop: 'value'},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}]];
var a = aryAry[0], r = [];
for(var i=0,l=a.length; i<l; i++){
var n = 0, o = a[i];
for(var q in o){
n++;
}
if(n > 0){
r.push(o);
}
}
console.log(r);
let arr = [{a:1},{},{c:3}];
arr = _.filter(arr,v => _.keys(v).length !== 0);
console.log(arr)
