Selecting last element in JavaScript array
use es6 deconstruction array with the spread operator
var last = [...yourArray].pop();
note that yourArray doesn't change.
Use the slice()
method:
my_array.slice(-1)[0]
You can also .pop
off the last element. Be careful, this will change the value of the array, but that might be OK for you.
var a = [1,2,3];
a.pop(); // 3
a // [1,2]
How to access last element of an array
It looks like that:
var my_array = /* some array here */;
var last_element = my_array[my_array.length - 1];
Which in your case looks like this:
var array1 = loc['f096012e-2497-485d-8adb-7ec0b9352c52'];
var last_element = array1[array1.length - 1];
or, in longer version, without creating new variables:
loc['f096012e-2497-485d-8adb-7ec0b9352c52'][loc['f096012e-2497-485d-8adb-7ec0b9352c52'].length - 1];
How to add a method for getting it simpler
If you are a fan for creating functions/shortcuts to fulfill such tasks, the following code:
if (!Array.prototype.last){
Array.prototype.last = function(){
return this[this.length - 1];
};
};
will allow you to get the last element of an array by invoking array's last()
method, in your case eg.:
loc['f096012e-2497-485d-8adb-7ec0b9352c52'].last();
