That contact object is not valid javascript. Is it a snippet from a JSON object? Are you unpacking the JSON to an array of proper JS objects? There is not enough context (code ) to tell how or if this works.

| Jan 6, 2022 at 19:46 | comment | added | radarbob | Your comment reply I want to remove all the other types Again, "remove" means "delete". I think I know you do not mean that. And also that there is no such thing as "type" anywhere in the code itself; the description and the actual code conflict. I'm being a pedantic pain just to show how precision, terminology, etc. is so important to readers trying to evaluate correctness and suggest changes. | |

Yes, correct, I referred to contact.relationship

There is no contact.type property. I assume you mean object.relationship to be the type?

@radarbob the contacts list can contain contacts of 4 different types, A, B, C and D. If there are contacts of type A I want to remove all the other types and only get the ones with type A, If there are no type A contacts, I only want to get the type B contacts. If no type A and no type B then the list should return empty. I have edited my question and added the contact object.

Show the contact definition in the code. Without knowing that and how it one is created an answer is guesswork. The chaining operator ?. implies a contact contains other objects that may or may not be contact object(s). Then defaulting the property to an empty string implies these properties may or may not be initialized upon creation.

Please clarify: If contactNames contains any "type A" contacts then return all the "type B" contacts; then if there are no "type A" contacts then return nothing / an empty set? Also, "... should only leave contacts of type B" - "leave" implies to delete all contacts except "typeB" from contactNames.
