How can I remove a specific item from an array in JavaScript?

⬅️ JavaScript

• Stack Overflow Find the index of the array element you want to remove using indexOf, and then remove that index with splice.

const array = [2, 5, 9];
 
console.log(array);
 
const index = array.indexOf(5);
if (index > -1) { // only splice array when item is found
  array.splice(index, 1); // 2nd parameter means remove one item only
}
 
// array = [2, 9]
console.log(array);
