De splice()
methode past de inhoud van een array aan door bestaande elementen te verwijderen en/of nieuwe elementen toe te voegen.
Syntax
array.splice(start[, deleteCount[, item1[, item2[, ...]]]])
Parameters
start
- Positie vanwaar de array dient te worden veranderd (met eerste element op 0). Indien groter dan de lengte van de array zal de
start
worden omgezet naar de lengte van de array. Indien negatief begint hij het absolute aantal vanaf het einde van de array. deleteCount
- Een getal dat aanduid hoeveel elementen moeten worden verwijderd. Indien 0 worden er geen elementen verwijdered. in dit scenario moet je minstens één toe te voegen element meegeven. Als de
deleteCount
groter is dan het overige aantal elementen in de array (beginnend bij de start waarde) worden alle deze overige elementen verwijderd. - Indien de
deleteCount
niet word meegegeven word deze alsvolgt berekend: (arr.length - start
).
Dit heeft als resultaat dat alle elementen na de startwaarde worden verwijderd. item1, item2, ...
- De elementen die in de array moeten worden toegevoegd, startende van de
start
waarde. Indien niet meegegeven zullen er enkel elementen uit de array verwijderd worden.
Return value
An array containing the deleted elements. If only one element is removed, an array of one element is returned. If no elements are removed, an empty array is returned.
Description
If you specify a different number of elements to insert than the number you're removing, the array will have a different length at the end of the call.
Examples
Using splice()
The following script illustrates the use of splice()
:
var myFish = ['angel', 'clown', 'mandarin', 'surgeon']; // removes 0 elements from index 2, and inserts 'drum' var removed = myFish.splice(2, 0, 'drum'); // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'drum', 'mandarin', 'surgeon'] // removed is [], no elements removed // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'drum', 'mandarin', 'surgeon'] // removes 1 element from index 3 removed = myFish.splice(3, 1); // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'drum', 'surgeon'] // removed is ['mandarin'] // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'drum', 'surgeon'] // removes 1 element from index 2, and inserts 'trumpet' removed = myFish.splice(2, 1, 'trumpet'); // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'trumpet', 'surgeon'] // removed is ['drum'] // myFish is ['angel', 'clown', 'trumpet', 'surgeon'] // removes 2 elements from index 0, and inserts 'parrot', 'anemone' and 'blue' removed = myFish.splice(0, 2, 'parrot', 'anemone', 'blue'); // myFish is ['parrot', 'anemone', 'blue', 'trumpet', 'surgeon'] // removed is ['angel', 'clown'] // myFish is ['parrot', 'anemone', 'blue', 'trumpet', 'surgeon'] // removes 2 elements from index 2 removed = myFish.splice(myFish.length -3, 2); // myFish is ['parrot', 'anemone', 'surgeon'] // removed is ['blue', 'trumpet'] const myFish = ['parrot', 'anemone', 'blue', 'trumpet', 'surgeon']; // removes 3 elements starting at index 2 const removed = myFish.splice(2); // myFish is ['parrot', 'anemone'] // removed is ['blue', 'trumpet', 'surgeon']

Backward compatibility
In JavaScript 1.2 the splice()
method returns the element removed, if only one element is removed (deleteCount
parameter is 1); otherwise, the method returns an array containing the removed elements.
Note: The last browser to use JavaScript 1.2 was Netscape Navigator 4, so you can depend on splice()
always returning an array. This is the case, when a JavaScript object has a length
property and a splice()
method, console.log()
treats it as an Array-like object. Checking with an instanceof Array
on it returns false.
