If I have a given object that contains one or more empty strings:

{
  username: "Ricky Bobby",
  email: "",
  password: "",
  points: 21
}

How do I remove each key-value pair that contains an empty string for its value?

I'm using JavaScript.

Here's how you could do it:

let myObject = {
    username: "Ricky Bobby",
    email: "",
    password: "",
    points: 21
};

Object.keys(myObject).forEach((key) => {
    if (myObject[key] === "") {
        delete myObject[key];
    }
});

// myObject = { username: 'Ricky Bobby', points: 21 }

Code breakdown:

Object.keys(myObject) creates an array that contains each key in the object. i.e. ["username", "email", "pasword", "points"].
forEach(keys) loops through each of those keys and checks the value in the object associated with the key.
If the key contains an empty string, the delete operator is used to remove that key-value pair.

You can iterate over the object using for...in and delete any key-value pair with an empty string value:

for (const key in object) {
  if (object[key] === "") {
    delete obj[key];
  }
}

This function will remove each key-value pair that contains an empty string:

const removeEmptyStringValues = (Object) => {
    for (var key in Object) {
        if (Object[key] === "") {
            delete Object[key];
        }
    }

    return Object;
};

You can use it like this:

removeEmptyStringValues(ogObject);
