Delete key if all values are empty

Delete key if all values are empty

I have an array of Javascript objects and wanted to check if certain keys/columns have the value "" (empty). If you delete this key from my Javascript object array, otherwise keep it the same.

Follow a Javascript Object Array as an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gAIRutLHYS1UZwHXaKVqQmv4bRsg3fy1/view?usp=sharing

The database image reflects better what I hope to get as a result. The data is the same as the link above.

I did the code below, but it checks line by line and deletes the line if it is empty.

public filterColumns(productConfig: ProductConfig[]) {

        for (let i = 0; i < productConfig.length; i++) {
            for (let j = 1; j <= 6; j++) {
                if (productConfig[i]['Attr_Val_' + j] === "") {
                    delete productConfig[i]['Attr_Val_' + j];
                }
            }
        }
    }

I needed to check that ALL lines are empty before deleting the key/column.

Make two loops, like you did, but create a separate array by adding the names of empty keys to all objects. Then make two more loops by deleting the key names that were saved in the array.
