change items position within array js code example

Example 1: moving a item fro index to another index, javascript

function arraymove(arr, fromIndex, toIndex) {
    var element = arr[fromIndex];
    arr.splice(fromIndex, 1);
    arr.splice(toIndex, 0, element);
}

Example 2: javascript move item in array to another index

function moveArrayItemToNewIndex(arr, old_index, new_index) {
    if (new_index >= arr.length) {
        var k = new_index - arr.length + 1;
        while (k--) {
            arr.push(undefined);
        }
    }
    arr.splice(new_index, 0, arr.splice(old_index, 1)[0]);
    return arr; 
};

//move index 1(b) to index 2(c)
console.log(moveArrayItemToNewIndex(["a","b","c","d"], 1, 2)); // returns ["a", "c", "b", "d"]
