Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified.
|
|
Returns the removed elements.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.filter()` and `Array.prototype.includes()` to pull out the values that are not needed.
|
|
- Set `Array.prototype.length` to mutate the passed in an array by resetting its length to `0`.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.push()` to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.push()` to keep track of pulled values.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const pullAtValue = (arr, pullArr) => {
|
|
let removed = [],
|
|
pushToRemove = arr.forEach((v, i) =>
|
|
pullArr.includes(v) ? removed.push(v) : v
|
|
),
|
|
mutateTo = arr.filter((v, i) => !pullArr.includes(v));
|
|
arr.length = 0;
|
|
mutateTo.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
|
|
return removed;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
|
|
let pulled = pullAtValue(myArray, ['b', 'd']);
|
|
// myArray = [ 'a', 'c' ] , pulled = [ 'b', 'd' ]
|
|
```
