pullAtValue

Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified. Returns the removed elements.

Use Array.filter() and Array.includes() to pull out the values that are not needed. Use Array.length = 0 to mutate the passed in an array by resetting it's length to zero and Array.push() to re-populate it with only the pulled values. Use Array.push() to keep track of pulled values

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;
};

let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
let pulled = pullAtValue(myArray, ['b', 'd']);
console.log(myArray); // [ 'a', 'c' ]
console.log(pulled); // [ 'b', 'd' ]
