api

dropkey(objectArray, keyArray)

• objectArray: [Array] - an array containing objects to process
• keyArray: [Array] - an array of strings containing the keys to delete from the objects in objectArray

additional info

There's nothing magical about this. This is just a module for this small snippet of code:

function dropkeys (array, dropable) {
        array.forEach(function (item) {
                dropable.forEach(function (key) {
                        delete item[key];
                });
        });
        return array;
}
