There has been a huuuge BENCHMARKS thread, providing following information:įor blink browsers slice() is the fastest method, concat() is a bit slower, and while loop is 2.4x slower.įor other browsers while loop is the fastest method, since those browsers don't have internal optimizations for slice and concat. If you want to keep the original array, clone the array, then use splice on the cloned array.įrom an SO question about cloning arrays: Note that this modifies your original array. Let leftSide = letters.splice(0, Math.ceil(letters.length /2)) Let leftSide = myArray.splice(0, Math.ceil(myArray.length / 2)) įor example: let letters = Let arraySecondHalf = yourArray.slice(halfwayThrough, yourArray.length) Let arrayFirstHalf = yourArray.slice(0, halfwayThrough) or instead of floor you can use ceil depending on what side gets the extra data Let halfwayThrough = Math.floor(yourArray.length / 2) You can get around this by using slice instead of splice Example let yourArray = props.someArray log the original object and see that its value has been changedĬonsole.log(myObj) // will log Īs you can see the object myObj had the value of key changed as well. change the value of a key in the new const assign a new const to the object (this is assigned by reference) 2nd Argument: Specifies at which level the endpoint should be. For Example: var arr1 1,5,8,9 arr1.slice(1) // 5,8,9 From the first index (5) it will return the elements. 1st Argument: Specifies from where the selection should be started. This means that if you use the original reference you will get the new value. Slice: The Slice method takes 2 arguments. When you mutate an object or array you change that original reference. A simple version that lets you add questions to the test using ES6 class. You can always tell if a method will mutate by whether or not it returns a new array or object. Say you’re building a component (a test) that allows a user to add/remove/edit a list of subcomponents (questions). Using an array method like splice will cause the original array to be manipulated. splice() method is used to alter the content of an array by removing the existing elements and/or adding new elements. What is a Mutation?Ī mutation is when you change a non primitive, like an object or array. slice() are almost identical but there are some differences between them, but before directly jumping to the differences, let us know what are.
If you need to avoid mutations, for example if you have to split an array in react you don't want to mutate the original or it could lead to some very strange behaviour in your app.
