In JavaScript, you can use the filter() method in combination with the forEach() method to find and remove objects in an array based on a key-value pair.

Here is an example of how you can use these methods to remove objects from an array of objects called myArray where the key value is equal to 5:

myArray = myArray.filter(function(item) {
    return item.value !== 5;
});

In this example, the filter() method creates a new array that contains only the objects that have a value property that is not equal to 5. The original array is then reassigned to this new array, effectively removing all objects with a value of 5.

Alternatively, you can also use the forEach() method to iterate through the array and use the splice() method to remove elements that match the key-value pair.

myArray.forEach(function(item, index) {
    if (item.value === 5) {
        myArray.splice(index, 1);
    }
});

This code loops through each element in the array, and check if the element’s “value” property is equal to 5. If it is, it uses the splice() method to remove that element from the array. Keep in mind, splice method will change the original array which could cause problems if you’re iterating it simultaneously or if you need the original array.

Keep in mind that the examples are just suggestions, you should consider the performance, complexity of your code before making any decisions. In some situations, it might be more appropriate to use for or for...of loops instead of forEach() when you need more control over the iteration.
