How do I remove a property from a JavaScript object?

Question

Say I create an object as follows:

var myObject = { 

"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", 

"method": "newURI", 

"regex": "^http://.*" 

};

What is the best way to remove the property regex to end up with new myObject as follows?

var myObject = { 

"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", 

"method": "newURI" 

};

Answer 1

To remove a property from a JavaScript object you can use delete method.

Code example:-

var myObject = { 

"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", 

"method": "newURI", 

"regex": "^http://.*" 

}; 

delete myObject.regex; 

console.log(myObject);
