How to split a long array into smaller arrays, with JavaScript
var size = 10; var arrayOfArrays = [];
for (var i=0; i<bigarray.length; i+=size) {
arrayOfArrays.push(bigarray.slice(i,i+size));
}
console.log(arrayOfArrays);
Unlike splice()
, slice()
is non-destructive to the original array.
Don't use jquery...use plain javascript
var a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
var b = a.splice(0,10);
//a is now [11,12,13,14,15];
//b is now [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
You could loop this to get the behavior you want.
var a = YOUR_ARRAY;
while(a.length) {
console.log(a.splice(0,10));
}
This would give you 10 elements at a time...if you have say 15 elements, you would get 1-10, the 11-15 as you wanted.
Just loop over the array, splicing it until it's all consumed.
var a = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g']
, chunk
while (a.length > 0) {
chunk = a.splice(0,3)
console.log(chunk)
}
output
[ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
[ 'd', 'e', 'f' ]
[ 'g' ]
