Removes any properties except the ones specified from a JSON object.
|
|
|
|
Use `Object.keys()` method to loop over given JSON object and deleting keys that are not included in given array.
|
|
If you pass a special key,`childIndicator`, it will search deeply apply the function to inner objects, too.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const cleanObj = (obj, keysToKeep = [], childIndicator) => {
|
|
Object.keys(obj).forEach(key => {
|
|
if (key === childIndicator) {
|
|
cleanObj(obj[key], keysToKeep, childIndicator);
|
|
} else if (!keysToKeep.includes(key)) {
|
|
delete obj[key];
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
return obj;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const testObj = { a: 1, b: 2, children: { a: 1, b: 2 } };
|
|
cleanObj(testObj, ['a'], 'children'); // { a: 1, children : { a: 1}}
|
|
