Filtering a nested array and return the array which matches the value for the key

I'm trying to filter an array which contains arrays of object, based on the id. I'm able to filter them, but need to clean up the output a bit as it also returns an empty array, since the condition doesn't match for that array.

How do I fix it?

const resKey = 'ABC';
const data = [
  [{
    "user": {
      "firstName": "John",
      "lastName": "Smith",
    },
    "id": "ABC"
  }],
  [{
    "user": {
      "firstName": "John",
      "lastName": "Smith",
    },
    "id": "DEF"
  }]
];

const result = data.map(eachArr => eachArr.filter(eachObj => eachObj.id === resKey));
console.log(result);

Expected Output:

[
  [
    {
      user: {
        firstName: "John",
        lastName: "Smith",
      },
      id: "ABC",
    },
  ],
]

Actual Output:

[
  [
    {
      user: {
        firstName: "John",
        lastName: "Smith",
      },
      id: "ABC",
    },
  ],
  [],

You can again filter out the empty array which doesn't contain an elements (length is 0) using filter.

.filter((arr) => arr.length);

const resKey = "ABC";
const data = [
  [
    {
      user: {
        firstName: "John",
        lastName: "Smith",
      },
      id: "ABC",
    },
  ],
  [
    {
      user: {
        firstName: "John",
        lastName: "Smith",
      },
      id: "DEF",
    },
  ],
];

const result = data
  .map((eachArr) => eachArr.filter((eachObj) => eachObj.id === resKey))
  .filter((arr) => arr.length);
  
console.log(result);
