javascript array set value at index code example

Example 1: javascript insert item into array

var colors=["red","blue"];
var index=1;

//insert "white" at index 1
colors.splice(index, 0, "white");   //colors =  ["red", "white", "blue"]

Example 2: javascript push in specific index

arr.splice(index, 0, item);
//explanation:
inserts "item" at the specified "index",
deleting 0 other items before it

Example 3: javascript push in position

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";

console.log(arr.join());
arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene");
console.log(arr.join());

Example 4: set element at index javascript array and create new array

const items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

const insert = (arr, index, newItem) => [
  // part of the array before the specified index
  ...arr.slice(0, index),
  // inserted item
  newItem,
  // part of the array after the specified index
  ...arr.slice(index)
]

const result = insert(items, 1, 10)

console.log(result)
// [1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5]
