How to remove vowels from a list of string in JavaScript

I am trying to write a function that will remove all vowels in a list of strings in JavaScript. I know how to do this with a single string however I am having problem when I apply an array of strings. am getting an error TypeError: strings.replace is not a function.

  var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar", 
  "flute", "double bass", "xylophone","piano"];                          

   string = strings.replace( /[aeiou]/g, '' );              

  console.log(string);

function removeVowels(word){

let vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u'];
 let string = '';

   for(let i = 0; i < word.length; i++){
     if(!vowels.includes(word[i])){
        string += word[i]
       };
      };
return string 
};

 console.log(removeVowels('Hello'))

function disemvowel(str) {             
    let newString = " ";                            
    for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++)  
{           
      if (str[i] != "a" && str[i] != "e" && str[i] != "i" && str[i] != "o" && str[i] != "u")                                   
       {           
       newString += str[i];         
      };   
    };   
    return newString;   
  };  
  console.log(disemvowel('ajmal'));

Using either a for loop or .map() to iterate through each string in your array and apply your method of replacing vowels.

You are performing operation on an array of string so you have to use some loop or iterator to iterate over array and perform replace on individual item of that array. In code below I am using map function to loop and remove vowels from each index.

var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar", 
 "flute", "double bass", "xylophone","piano"];      

var stringsWithOutVovels =  strings.map(function(item){
  return item.replace( /[aeiou]/g, '' ); 
});

console.log(stringsWithOutVovels);

You can use array#map() to iterate through your strings array.

var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar", "flute", "double bass", "xylophone","piano"];           
var string = strings.map(x => x.replace(/[aeiou]/g, ''));
console.log(string);

Here's a solution using map:

var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar",
  "flute", "double bass", "xylophone", "piano"
];

strings = strings.map(string => string.replace(/[aeiou]/g, ''));

console.log(strings);

You need to iterate and replace each element with a given array of string.

var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar", "flute", "double bass", "xylophone", "piano"];

strings = strings.map(function (string) {
    return string.replace(/[aeiou]/g, '');
});

console.log(strings);

var strings = ["bongo drums", "guitar", "flute", "double bass", "xylophone","piano"];

string = strings.filter(function(item) { return item.replace( /[aeiou]/g, '' ));
