jquery - How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?



I am looking for a JavaScript array insert method, in the style of:



arr.insert(index, item)



Preferably in jQuery, but any JavaScript implementation will do at this point.


Answer



What you want is the splice function on the native array object.



arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert).



In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:






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());
