Return non empty objects form array

I am having array person of say 3 objects and form that i want to return objects named description. Now m using map to iterate over person, but what happens here is, if person is not having description then it returns undefined. I want at last to get array with only description objects(no undefined).

const person = [
{abc: 'abc',description:{}},
{qwe:'qwe', def:'def'},
{abcd: 'abcd',description:{}}
]

console.log(person.map(indivi => indivi.description))

You could filter them out with .filter:

const person = [
    {abc: 'abc',description:{}},
    {qwe:'qwe', def:'def'},
    {abcd: 'abcd',description:{}}
]

const descriptions = person
    .filter(indivi => indivi.description)
    .map(indivi => indivi.description);

You could apply a filter to remove objects not having a description property, before calling map on objects.

const person = [
{abc: 'abc',description:{}},
{qwe:'qwe', def:'def'},
{abcd: 'abcd',description:{}}
]

console.log(person.filter(t => t.description).map(indivi => indivi.description))
