Remove object attribute

in Using jQuery • 12 years ago

Hi guys/girls,

I have an object created by:

var obj = {};

obj.item1 = {};

obj.item2 = {};

obj.item3 = {};

obj.item4 = {};

I am wanting to remove one of the attributes. So I call $(obj).removeAttr('item1')

This empties the attribute but the attribute still exists.

Any pointers would be great!

Here's the print out from chrome's js console

obj

item1: Object
item2: Object
item3: Object
item4: Object
__proto__: Object

$(obj).removeAttr('item1')

[

item1: ""
item2: Object
item3: Object
item4: Object
__proto__: Object

]

There's no need to use jQuery for this as it's just a plain object. You could set the item to null:

obj.item1 = null;

or remove it entirely with:

remove obj.item1;

Is there a way to remove the reference because if I do a loop over the object the item1 attribute still shows up

turns out I was over complicating it. I just call

delete obj.item1

and its gone.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
