Consider the following scenario;
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var availArr = [];
var selectedArr = [];
If I am passing array some index's value in param's, I need to split up my array's
Example:
If Array Index : 0,2
Expected result:
availArr = ['b', 'd'];
selectedArr = ['a', 'c'];
Is there any default method to achieve this?
Failrly easy with Array.reduce
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var indexes = [0,2];
var result = defaultArr.reduce(function(p, c, i){
if(indexes.indexOf(i)>-1)
p.selectedArr.push(c);
else
p.availArr.push(c);
return p;
}, {availArr: [], selectedArr:[]});;
console.log('availArr',result.availArr);
console.log('selectedArr',result.selectedArr);This works because reduce takes a callback argument which is passed 3 arguments - in my example above
p the seed object passed inc the current array element i the index of the current elementAnd uses that information along with indexOf to determine which result array to push to.
You could use Array#reduceRight and iterate the indices array.
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'],
availArr = defaultArr.slice(),
selectedArr = [],
indices = [0, 2];
indices.reduceRight(function (_, a) {
selectedArr.unshift(availArr.splice(a, 1)[0]);
}, 0);
console.log(availArr);
console.log(selectedArr);
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var availArr = [];
var selectedArr = [];
function splitArray(indexes) {
availArr = defaultArr;
indexes.forEach(function(idx) {
let item = availArr.splice(idx, 1)[0];
selectedArr.push(item);
})
}
splitArray([0, 2]);
console.log(availArr);
console.log(selectedArr);You can use Array methods like forEach and includes
var given = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var indexes = [0, 2];
var available = [];
var selected = [];
given.forEach(function (v, i) {
if (indexes.includes(i)) {
selected.push(v);
} else {
available.push(v);
}
});
document.write(JSON.stringify({
given: given,
available: available,
selected: selected
}));In JS Array.prototype.reduceRight() is the ideal functor to iterate over an array and to morph it by removing items. Accordingly i would approach this job as follows;
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'],
indices = [0, 2];
result = defaultArr.reduceRight((p,c,i,a) => indices.includes(i) ? p.concat(a.splice(i,1)) : p ,[]);
console.log(defaultArr,result);You can use array.splice + array.concat to achieve this
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var availArr = [];
var selectedArr = [];
function parseIndexes(indexArr){
var deleteCount = 0;
availArr = defaultArr.map(x=>x);
indexArr.forEach(function(i){
selectedArr = selectedArr.concat(availArr.splice(i-deleteCount,1))
deleteCount++;
});
console.log(availArr, selectedArr)
}
parseIndexes([0,2])With only Array.filter
var array = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var indexes = [0, 2]
array.filter(function(el, i) {
return indexes.indexOf(i) !== -1
});
// ["a", "c"]
With array the array of your elements, objects, strings... and indexes the array containing all the indexes of the elements you want to keep, you just remove from the arrayarray all the elements whose id isn't in theindexes array.
The array of all selected entries can be obtained in one line via the Array.map:
var defaultArr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
var index = [0,2]
var selectedArr = index.map(i => defaultArr[i]) //=> ['a', 'c']
Then the array of the remaining entries can be retrieved e.g. with the Ramda's difference operator:
var availArr = R.difference(defaultArr, selectedArr) //=> ['b', 'd']
selectedArr, then filter NOT-ting the previous predicate foravailArr?indexOffor populatingselectedArr. What aboutavailArr?
