Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only display the html form and table. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">How to Delete JSON Element from an Array</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-8">
                        <table class="table table-bordered">
                                <thead class="alert-info">
                                        <tr>
                                                <th>Firstname</th>
                                                <th>Lastname</th>
                                                <th>Address</th>
                                                <th>Action</th>
                                        </tr>
                                </thead>
                                <tbody id= "result"></tbody>
                        </table>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4">
                        <div class="form-group">
                                <label>Firstname</label>
                                <input type="text" id="firstname" class="form-control"/>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group">
                                <label>Lastname</label>
                                <input type="text" id="lastname" class="form-control"/>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group">
                                <label>Address</label>
                                <input type="text" id="address" class="form-control"/>
                        </div>
                        <div class="form-group">
                                <button type="button" onclick="saveData()" class="btn btn-primary form-control">Save Data</button>
                        </div>
                </div>
        </div>
</body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will allow you to delete an array from JSON object. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

var data = [];
        
function displayData(){
        
        var table = "" ;
                
                        for(var i in data){
                                table += "<tr>";
                                table += "<td>" 
                                                + data[i].firstname +"</td>" 
                                                + "<td>" + data[i].lastname +"</td>"
                                                + "<td>" + data[i].address +"</td>" 
                                                + "<td><button class='btn btn-danger btn-sm' onclick='deleteData("+i+")'>Delete</button></td>";
                                table += "</tr>";
                        }
                        
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = table;            
}
 
function saveData(){
        let firstname = document.getElementById("firstname");
        let lastname = document.getElementById("lastname");
        let address = document.getElementById("address");
        
        if(firstname.value == "" || lastname.value == "" || address.value == ""){
                alert("Please complete the required field first!");
        }else{
                var member = {
                        'firstname': firstname.value,
                        'lastname': lastname.value,
                        'address': address.value,
                };
                
                data.push(member);
                
                displayData();
                
                
                firstname.value = "";
                lastname.value = "";
                address.value = "";
                
        }
}
 
function deleteData(index){
        delete data[index];
        alert("You have deleted a row");
        displayData();
}

In the code above we just create one method to delete an array from the JSON object called deleteData(). This function will dynamically delete the array data in the table when you clicked the delete button.
