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

Quick solution:

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

var array = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

array.shift();

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

 

Alternative solution

In this example, we use slice() method to remove the first element from array.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

var array = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

var newArray = array.slice(1);

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