Remove Property

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

Deleting properties from JavaScript objects can be done with the delete operator, e.g. delete user.email. This operator deletes the property of the object itself, not the property of the prototype. If you want to create a new object without a specific property without changing the original object, use rest destructuring.

Key points

Delete object.property delete property from object
Delete returns true unless property cannot be deleted
Delete does not delete the inherited property from the prototype
Rest destructuring produces new copies without changing the original object
