I have props with following data

test1: abc
id: 1
myArray: Array(3)
0: {a:abc, b:cde, aid: 1}
1: {e:age, f:ade, aid: 2}
2: {t:are, h:had, aid: 1}

I want to filter props and update array to have only the values that match id and aid

So the props should look like below:

test1: abc
id: 1
myArray: Array(3)
0: {a:abc, b:cde, aid: 1}
2: {t:are, h:had, aid: 1}

How can i do that?

• I was gonna post a filter implementation but there is one detail, props are inmutable... is that correct? you want to change the props of the current ponent? – Facundo Larrosa Commented Jun 4, 2018 at 0:03

You can use the filter Array method

let myArray = [{a:"abc", b:"cde", aid: 1},
               {e:"age", f:"ade", aid: 2},
               {t:"are", h:"had", aid: 1}]

const result = myArray.filter(item => item.aid === 1)

console.log(result)

But take in consideration that props are immutable.

If you wish to change this prop permanently you will have to update it in the parent ponent.

You will get the filtered data by using,

const filteredData = this.props.myArray.filter(item => item.aid === 1)

However props is only readable. You will have to eigther dispatch or update parent ponent to provide new/filtered data as props.

you can use Array.filter()

// match both a AND aid
const result = myArray.filter(obj => (obj.a === test1 && obj.aid === id);
// match either a OR aid
const result = myArray.filter(obj => (obj.a === test1 || obj.aid === id);
