filter an array of objects based on key/value and remove it from array

Question

In the following function I push and object to the accountsToDelete array, I need to then remove the matching object from the accountsToAdd array. I am guessing I would have to use a combination of IndexOf, Filter, Reduce but I am still a little rough in understanding how to accomplish this. This is the current function:

accountDelete(id, name) {
    const accountsToAdd = this.userForm.value.accountsToAdd;
    const accountsToDelete = this.userForm.value.accountsToDelete;
    this.userForm.value.accountsToDelete.push(
        {
            id: id,
            name: name
        }
    );
}

@ben it may be a duplicate, but I am glad I asked it as @baao solution is a simple one line of code and I was specifically asking how to accomplish this using the filter() method. — Sandra Willford

You can simply use the filter function. By this you can say, that in the accountToAdd all entries should be filtered, which id fits the to deleted account.

An example:

// Initialize both lists.
let accountsToAdd = []
let accountsToDelete = []

// Preparation by adding a account to the first list.
const account = { id: 1, name: 'Max' }
accountsToAdd.push(account)

// Mark account to be removed.
accountsToDelete.push(account)
accountsToAdd = accountsToAdd.filter(acc => acc.id !== account.id)

// Verify result.
console.log(accountsToAdd)
console.log(accountsToDelete)

Note:
Your both lists are defined as constant. By this you can't use the reassignment.
