Example 1: how to remove a property from an object in javascript

var person = {
        name: "Harry",
        age: 16,
        gender: "Male"
    };
    
    // Deleting a property completely
    delete person.age;
    alert(person.age); // Outputs: undefined
    console.log(person); // Prints: {name: "Harry", gender: "Male"}

Example 2: js object clear

// for enumerable and non-enumerable of an object with proto chain
var props = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj);
for (var i = 0; i < props.length; i++) {
  delete obj[props[i]];
}

// for enumerable properties of shallow/plain object
for (var key in obj) {
  // this check can be safely omitted in modern JS engines
  // if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key))
    delete obj[key];
}
