How to filter an array from all elements of another array

You can use the this parameter of the filter() function to avoid to store your filter array in a global variable.

var filtered = [1, 2, 3, 4].filter(
    function(e) {
      return this.indexOf(e) < 0;
    },
    [2, 4]
);
console.log(filtered);

var array = [1,2,3,4];
var anotherOne = [2,4];
var filteredArray = array.filter(myCallBack);

function myCallBack(el){
  return anotherOne.indexOf(el) < 0;
}

In the callback, you check if each value of array is in anotherOne

If you are using lodash.js, use _.difference

filteredArray = _.difference(array, anotherOne);

Demo

If you have an array of objects :

var array = [{id :1, name :"test1"},{id :2, name :"test2"},{id :3, name :"test3"},{id :4, name :"test4"}];

var anotherOne = [{id :2, name :"test2"}, {id :4, name :"test4"}];

var filteredArray  = array.filter(function(array_el){
   return anotherOne.filter(function(anotherOne_el){
      return anotherOne_el.id == array_el.id;
   }).length == 0
});

Demo array of objects

Demo diff array of objects with lodash

I would do as follows;

var arr1 = [1,2,3,4],
    arr2 = [2,4],
    res = arr1.filter(item => !arr2.includes(item));
console.log(res);
