First, I'm not an English speaker. I'm a beginner developer. Please understand if my English is awkward
I'm creating a real-time chat app and filtering messages from the person I blocked So I'm filtering through the target number of the blocked person in the entire message. But this filter process is not working well. Can you help me?
like this
Message : [{…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}]
{type: 'message', idx: 1313231, name: '%E3%85%81%E3%84%B4%E3%85%87%E3%85%81', message: 'hello'}

idx is user's idx target is blocked idx
blockList
[{…}]
> 0: {idx: 1321, target: 2231, timestamp: 1644561250499}
length: 1
[[Prototype]]: Array(0)

So I want filtering that message if blockList.target !== enterMsg.idx but it's not working so I tried some ways that is
const blockMap = blockList.map((el) => el.target)
const filterdMessage = () => {enterMsg.filter((msg)=> {
const realfiltered = enterMsg.filter((el) => {
blockMap.map((bl) => {
return el.idx !== bl
})
})
})};
but it is empty array How can i fix it ?
I would say there is a misunderstanding of the array functions: maybe you should check the docs ;)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map
Then you want to filter an array (the list of message) and the filter function must return a boolean so you probably want something like that :
const filterdMessage = enterMsg.filter((msg)=> {
return !blockList.some((bl) => {
return msg.idx === bl.target
})
})
What we do here is :
we use 'some' function that will return true if a matching block is found, and since we dont want matching blocks we negate the condition
