method of Set
instances removes a specified value from this set, if it is in the set.
const set1 = new Set();
set1.add({ x: 10, y: 20 }).add({ x: 20, y: 30 });
// Delete any point with `x > 10`.
set1.forEach((point) => {
if (point.x > 10) {
set1.delete(point);
}
});
console.log(set1.size);
// Expected output: 1
Syntax
setInstance.delete(value)
Parameters
value
The value to remove from Set
.
Returns true
if value
was already in Set
; otherwise false
.
const mySet = new Set();
mySet.add("foo");
console.log(mySet.delete("bar")); // false; no "bar" element found to be deleted.
console.log(mySet.delete("foo")); // true; successfully removed.
console.log(mySet.has("foo")); // false; the "foo" element is no longer present.
Deleting an object from a set
Because objects are compared by reference, you have to delete them by checking individual properties if you don't have a reference to the original object.
const setObj = new Set(); // Create a new set.
setObj.add({ x: 10, y: 20 }); // Add object in the set.
setObj.add({ x: 20, y: 30 }); // Add object in the set.
// Delete any point with `x > 10`.
setObj.forEach((point) => {
if (point.x > 10) {
setObj.delete(point);
}
});
