In es5, you can use indexOf to get the index of one item in an array.

In es6, you can use findIndex(), which is more prowful:

[NaN].indexOf(NaN)

// -1

[NaN].findIndex(y => Object.is(NaN, y))

//

You can use with splice() function:

 _cartItems.splice( _cartItems.findIndex( i => i === item ), 1 );
