Id of object mus be removed based on matching req.params.id - node.js

Question

router.delete('/shopping-cart/:id', (req, res) => {
let cart = new Cart(req.session.cart);
console.log(req.params.id);
console.log(cart.generateArray());
});
console.log will output the following result (req.params.id):
5c863cc8ee0819f989acf9c3
console.log will output the following result (cart.generateArray()):
[ { item:
{ _id: '5c863cc8ee0819f989acf9c3',
imagePath: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Gothiccover.png',
title: 'Gothic Video',
description: 'Absolutely stunning',
price: 10,
__v: 0 },
image: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Gothiccover.png',
qty: 1,
price: 10,
id: '5c863cc8ee0819f989acf9c3' } ]
So how do I loop through all the items and check if id matches the req.params.id. If that is the case, it should remove that object and then return an updated array on the client side.

Answer 1

let cards = [{
item: {
_id: '5c863cc8ee0819f989acf9c3',
imagePath: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Gothiccover.png',
title: 'Gothic Video',
description: 'Absolutely stunning',
price: 10,
__v: 0,
},
image: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5e/Gothiccover.png',
qty: 1,
price: 10,
id: '5c863cc8ee0819f989acf9c3',
}]
cards.forEach(element => {
delete element.id
})
console.info(cards)

I assume that is coming from cart.generateArray()?
If so, you probably should do that inside the function in question, but if you can't, then just map the results to a new array:
let result = cart.generateArray().map(item => {
const {id, ...entry} = item;
// if you want to also remove _id from the inner item, you can do the same
return entry;
});
console.log(result); // will have entries w/o id in them.
If you're looking to remove the nested item object as well, it's the smae approach, though I'll change some words to improve readability.
let result = cart.generateArray().map(cartItem => {
const {id, item, ...entry} = cartItem;
// this will remove both the id and the item keys
return entry;
});
console.log(result); // will have entries w/o id in them.
