✅ Solution & explanation
items.filter(item => item.json.status === 'active')
Output: [{ "name": "David", "status": "active" }]
Array.filter() keeps only the items where the callback returns true. In the n8n Code node every item wraps its data in .json, so the field is item.json.status.💡 Pro tip: Use strict equality (===) so you don't accidentally match a different type. For no-code filtering, the Filter node does the same job without writing JavaScript.
Also accepted: item.json.status=='active'
