How to remove a property from a JavaScript object?

Objects in JavaScript can be thought of as maps between keys and values. The delete operator is used to remove these keys.

var obj = {
  myProperty: 1    
}
console.log(obj.hasOwnProperty('myProperty')) // true
delete obj.myProperty
console.log(obj.hasOwnProperty('myProperty')) // false

Or, you can use object destructuring, an ECMAScript 6 feature, it's as simple as:

let myObject = {
  "item1": "value",
  "item2": "value",
  "item3": "value"
};
({ item1, ...myObject } = myObject);
console.log(myObject);
