I’m trying to remove the empty strings in my array.
This is my array:
let array = [{name:'John',age:'18',address:''},{name:'George',age:'',address:''},{name:'Kevin',age:'25',address:''}]
I would like to remove the empty string values ONLY if it’s empty in all objects.
desired outcome:
[{name:'John',age:'18'},{name:'George',age:''},{name:'Kevin',age:'25'}]
This is what I did but it removes EVERY empty string values:
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { array[i] = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(array[i]).filter(([_, v]) => v != '')); }
Thanks in advance ,

If you don’t mind mutating the original array
object. Here’s a solution utilizing some array functions.
let array = [ { name: 'John', age: '18', address: '' }, { name: 'George', age: '', address: '' }, { name: 'Kevin', age: '25', address: '' } ] Object.keys(array[0]) .filter(k => array.every(obj => !obj[k])) .forEach(k => array.forEach(obj => delete obj[k])); console.log(array);
