[JS] Remove Object Keys

var thisIsObject= {
    'Cow' : 'Moo',
    'Cat' : 'Meow',
    'Dog' : 'Bark'
};
try {
  delete thisIsObject['Cow'];
} catch(e){
  thisIsObject.cow = undefined;
}
//test using developer tools F12
console.log(thisIsObject);

Output

=> {Cat: "Meow", Dog: "Bark"}

Wrapping in function for Easy Use

function delkey(obj, key){
  try {
    delete obj[key];
  } catch(e){
    obj[key] = undefined;
  }
  return obj;
}

Test Wrapped function

var thisIsObject= {
    'Cow' : 'Moo',
    'Cat' : 'Meow',
    'Dog' : 'Bark'
};

//test using developer tools F12
console.log(delkey(thisIsObject, 'Cow'));

Output wrapped function

=> {Cat: "Meow", Dog: "Bark"}
