In this article, we would like to show you how to remove the first and last element in an array in JavaScript.

Quick solution:

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

const array = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

array.shift(); // removes first element
array.pop();   // removes last element

console.log(array); // [ 'b', 'c' ]

 

Alternative solution

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

let array = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

array = array.slice(1, -1);

console.log(array); // [ 'b', 'c' ]
