Remove multiple array from other array jquery

I Have 2 array like this

arr = ["9138172", "9138214", "9138238"]
array = ["9138172", "9138238"]

how can I remove values in array from arr? I want to obtain

arr = ["9138214"]

Maybe I can use splice() ?

You can use Array.forEach() to loop over to the array of items and then check that each item exist in array array. If so use splice(). Use simple function and indexOf() as it will work in old browsers and also in IE.

var arr = ["9138172", "9138214", "9138238"];
var array = ["9138172", "91382142"];
var i = arr.length;
while (i--) {
  if (array.indexOf(arr[i]) !== -1) {
    arr.splice(i, 1);
  }
}
console.log(arr);

If you want to lodash, this can be easily done by the difference function:

https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.10#difference

import {difference} from 'lodash';


arr = ["9138172", "9138214", "9138238"]
array = ["9138172", "9138238"]

console.log(difference(arr, array));

You can use .filter() for that.

Here is an example:

var arr = ["9138172", "9138214", "9138238"];
var array = ["9138172", "9138238"];

arr = arr.filter(e => !array.includes(e));

console.log(arr)

The code above just filters the arr array and keeps only elements that are not present in the array. The .includes() function that I've used works on these arrays because they contain strings, if you're dealing with objects, you need to find some other way of checking if array contains the element.
