Can not remove an item from an array using Sequelize and MYSQL

I am using MYSQL through Sequelize to build a node.js application with typescript. I created a table and the table has a field which I made a JSON dataType and made it an array by default. I have been able to push items into the array. I would like to remove items from the array, how can I achieve this?

I tried using await category.update({array_Of_food:Sequelize.fn('array_remove',Sequelize.col('array_of_food'),JSON.stringify(category.dataValues.array_Of_food && category.dataValues.array_Of_food[index]))})

I got an error that array_remove does not exist.

I solved my problem this way since I couldn't find an inbuilt way of doing it. I know this is not the best method but at least it works. At the end, I wrote a longer code.

1.Get the string value of the item you want to remove.

 const indexString = food.dataValues.food_Name as string;

2.Get the index number of that item inside the array you wish to delete it from:

 const index = category.dataValues.array_Of_food?.indexOf(indexString) as number;

3.Create a variable for the the array out of the model colum that you are targeting.

 const arrayValue = category.dataValues.array_Of_food

4.Remove that item from the array variable that you crceated:

 arrayValue?.splice(index, 1);

5.Use the update method and pass the array variable you deleted the item from as the update: This will replace the initial array values with the new array values. Remember that the new array values contain all the values in the array column excluding the value you deleted.

await category.update({array_Of_food: arrayValue})

This worked!
