How to Remove Undefined Values from an Object in JavaScript

When dealing with JavaScript objects, you may encounter situations where your data contains undefined values that can clutter the object's structure. If you want to create a cleaner object by removing all undefined values, you're in the right place. In this post, we'll explore how to effectively eliminate undefined values from an object while ensuring that we maintain the integrity of any nested objects or arrays.

The Problem

Consider the following object structure that contains several fields, with some of them set to undefined:

The goal is to transform it into a cleaner object that removes the undefined values completely, resulting in a structure such as:

While you have probably encountered recursive functions to tackle this problem, a more straightforward iterative approach can be very effective as well.

The Solution

Using an Iterative Approach

Instead of using recursion, you can utilize an iterative method to traverse through the object, checking each property. Here’s how you can do it with a function called removeUndefined:

Explanation of the Code

Initialization: We create a stack with the object we want to clean. This stack is used to keep track of which objects we still need to check.

Loop through the Stack: As long as there are objects in the stack, we continue processing.

Check Each Entry: For each object:

We use Object.entries() to get the key-value pairs.

If a value is undefined, we delete it from the object.

If a value is an object (or an array), we add it to the stack to examine it later.

Return the Result: After processing, the original object is modified to exclude undefined values, and we return it.

Benefits of This Approach

No Recursion: This method avoids recursion, which may lead to stack overflow with deeply nested objects.

Efficiency: It efficiently traverses the object and eliminates undesired values in a single pass.

Conclusion

By applying the removeUndefined function discussed here, you can easily tidy up your JavaScript objects by removing all undefined values without the need for recursion. This results in cleaner, more manageable code — a must-have for developers aiming for high-quality data structures.
