How to compare two arrays and remove duplicate objects by complete iteration

Question

I have two array of objects say,

var deSelectedRows = [
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"}
];

var selectedRows = [
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"}
];

And when I am trying to compare and iterate with two arrays with the below logic,

for  (var  i  of selectedRows) {
    for  (var  j  of deSelectedRows) {
      if  ( i.id  ===  j.id ) {
        selectedRows.splice(i,  1);
      }
    }
  }

Since the selected rows are being spliced, I am not able to iterate completely. Please help me with this.

Answer 1

You could use a Set for the given id and filter selectedRows with the set.

var deSelectedRows = [{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"}],
    selectedRows = [{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"}, { PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"}],
    ids = new Set(deSelectedRows.map(({ id }) => id));

selectedRows = selectedRows.filter(({ id }) => !ids.has(id));

console.log(selectedRows);

You can use filter to achieve this functionality.

var deSelectedRows = [
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"}
];

var selectedRows = [
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC01"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC02"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC03"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC04"},
{ PoHeaderKey: 129, OrderNo: "WS1", LineNo: 1, id: "BRIC05"}
];

selectedRows= selectedRows.filter(function(cv){
    return !deSelectedRows.find(function(e){
        return e.id == cv.id;
    });
});

console.log(selectedRows);
