remove item from stored array in angular 2

Question

I want to remove an item from a stored array in angular 2, with Type Script. I am using a service called Data Service, the DataService Code:

export class DataService {

    private data: string[] = [];

    addData(msg: string) {
        this.data.push(msg);
    }

    getData() {
        return this.data;
    }

    deleteMsg(msg: string) {
        delete [this.data.indexOf(msg)];
    }
}

And my component class:

import {Component} from '@angular/core'
import {LogService} from './log.service'
import {DataService} from './data.service'

@Component({
    selector: 'tests',
    template:
            `
        <div class="container">
            <h2>Testing Component</h2>
            <div class="row">
                <input type="text" placeholder="log meassage" #logo>
                <button class="btn btn-md btn-primary" (click)="logM(logo.value)">log</button>
                <button class="btn btn-md btn-success" (click)="store(logo.value)">store</button>
                <button class="btn btn-md btn-danger" (click)="send()">send</button>
                <button class="btn btn-md " (click)="show()">Show Storage</button>
                <button (click)="logarray()">log array</button>
            </div>
            <div class="col-xs-12">
                <ul class="list-group">
                    <li *ngFor="let item of items" class="list-group-item" #ival>
                        {{item}}
                        <button class="pull-right btn btn-sm btn-warning" (click)="deleteItem(ival.value)">Delete
                        </button>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </div>
            <h3>{{value}}</h3>
            <br>
        </div>
    `
})

export class TestsComponent {

    items: string[] = [];

    constructor(
        private logService: LogService,
        private dataService: DataService) {

    }

    logM(message: string) {
        this.logService.WriteToLog(message);
    }

    store(message: string) {
        this.dataService.addData(message);
    }

    send(message: string) {
    }

    show() {
        this.items = this.dataService.getData();
    }

    deleteItem(message: string) {
        this.dataService.deleteMsg(message);
    }

    logarray() {
        this.logService.WriteToLog(this.items.toString());
    }
}

Now, everything is working good except when I try to delete an item. The log shows me that the item is still in the array, and therefore is still shown on the page. How can I remove the item after selecting it with the delete button??

Answer 1

You can use like this:

removeDepartment(name: string): void {
    this.departments = this.departments.filter(item => item != name);
  }

Answer 2

//declaration 
list: Array<any> = new Array<any>(); 

//remove item from an array 
removeitem() 
{
const index = this.list.findIndex(user => user._id === 2); 
this.list.splice(index, 1); 
}

Answer 3

Don't use delete to remove an item from array and use splice() instead.

this.data.splice(this.data.indexOf(msg), 1);

See a similar question: How do I remove a particular element from an array in JavaScript?

Note, that TypeScript is a superset of ES6 (arrays are the same in both TypeScript and JavaScript) so feel free to look for JavaScript solutions even when working with TypeScript.

Answer 4

Use splice() to remove item from the array its refresh the array index to be consequence.

delete will remove the item from the array but its not refresh the array index which means if you want to remove third item from four array items the index of elements will be after delete the element 0,1,4

this.data.splice(this.data.indexOf(msg), 1)

Answer 5

This can be achieved as follows:

this.itemArr = this.itemArr.filter( h => h.id !== ID);
