nodejs splice code example

Example 1: javascript splice

let arr = ['foo', 'bar', 10, 'qux'];

// arr.splice(<index>, <steps>, [elements ...]);

arr.splice(1, 1);			// Removes 1 item at index 1
// => ['foo', 10, 'qux']

arr.splice(2, 1, 'tmp');	// Replaces 1 item at index 2 with 'tmp'
// => ['foo', 10, 'tmp']

arr.splice(0, 1, 'x', 'y');	// Inserts 'x' and 'y' replacing 1 item at index 0
// => ['x', 'y', 10, 'tmp']

Example 2: splice javascritp

let colors = ['red', 'blue', 'green'];

Example 3: splice javascript

const numbers = [10, 11, 12, 12, 15];
const startIndex = 3;
const amountToDelete = 1;

numbers.splice(startIndex, amountToDelete, 13, 14);
// the second entry of 12 is removed, and we add 13 and 14 at the same index
console.log(numbers);
// returns [ 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ]

Example 4: array.splice javascript

const months = ['Jan', 'March', 'April', 'June'];
months.splice(1, 0, 'Feb');
// inserts at index 1
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "June"]

months.splice(4, 1, 'May');
// replaces 1 element at index 4
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Jan", "Feb", "March", "April", "May"]

months.splice(0, 1);
// removes 1 element at index 0
console.log(months);
// expected output: Array ["Feb", "March", "April", "May"]

Example 5: splice()

/"removes any number of consecutive elements from anywhere in an array."/
let array = ['today', 'was', 'not', 'so', 'great'];

array.splice(2, 2);
// remove 2 elements beginning with the 3rd element
// array now equals ['today', 'was', 'great']

Example 6: splice from array

let myFish = ['angel', 'clown', 'mandarin', 'sturgeon']
let removed = myFish.splice(2, 0, 'drum')

// myFish is ["angel", "clown", "drum", "mandarin", "sturgeon"] 
// removed is [], no elements removed
