I have a function using an array value represented as
markers[i]
How can I select all other values in an array except this one?
The purpose of this is to reset all other Google Maps images to their original state but highlight a new one by changing the image.
Use Array.prototype.splice to get an array of elements excluding this one.
This affects the array permanently, so if you don't want that, create a copy first.
var origArray = [0,1,2,3,4,5];
var cloneArray = origArray.slice();
var i = 3;
cloneArray.splice(i,1);
console.log(cloneArray.join("---"));
slice() creates new object, doesn't affect original array at all. The only functions having data impact here are join() and splice(), but they are called after slice().splice, hence created a copy using slice before doing a splice, so that splice doesn't affect the original array.
slice()
You can use ECMAScript 5 Array.prototype.filter:
var items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
var current = 2;
var itemsWithoutCurrent = items.filter(function(x) { return x !== current; });
There can be any comparison logics instead of x !== current. For example, you can compare object properties.
If you work with primitives, you can also create a custom function like except which will introduce this functionality:
Array.prototype.except = function(val) {
return this.filter(function(x) { return x !== val; });
};
// Usage example:
console.log([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].except(2)); // 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
You can also use the second callback parameter in Filter:
const exceptIndex = 3;
const items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3', 'item4', 'item5'];
const filteredItems = items.filter((value, index) => exceptIndex !== index);
You can use slice() Method
var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Lemon", "Apple", "Mango"];
var citrus = fruits.slice(1,3);
The slice() method returns the selected elements in an array, as a new array object.
const result = [...fruits.slice(1,x-1), ...fruits.slice(x+1, fruits.length)]Another way this can be done is by using filter and slice Array methods.
let array = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
let leave = 2;
// method 1
console.log(array.filter((e,i) => i !== leave));
// logs [1, 2, 4, 5, 6];
//method 2
console.log([...array.slice(0, leave), ...array.slice(leave+1, array.length)]);
// logs [1, 2, 4, 5, 6];
This function will return a new array with all elements except the element at the specified index:
const everythingBut = (array, i) => { /*takes an array and an index as arguments*/
let notIArray = []; /*creates new empty array*/
let beforeI = array.slice(0, i); /*creates subarray of all elements before array[i]*/
let afterI = array.slice(i+1,); /*creates subarray of all elements after array[i]*/
notIArray = [...beforeI, ...afterI]; /*add elements before and after array[i] to empty array*/
return notIArray; /*returns new array with array[i] element excluded*/
};
For example:
let array = [1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 2, 6]
everythingBut(array, 2); /*exclude array[2]*/
// -> [1, 2, 7, 9, 11, 2, 6]
You can combine Array.prototype.slice() and Array.prototype.concat() in using startingArray.slice(desiredStartIndex, exclusionIndex).concat(startingArray.slice(exclusionIndex+1)) to exclude the item whose index is exclusionIndex. E.g., if you have a startingArray of [0, 1, 2] and want a desiredArray of [0, 2], then you can do as follows:
startingArray = [0, 1, 2];
desiredStartIndex = 0;
exclusionIndex = 1;
desiredEndIndex = 2;
desiredArray = startingArray.slice(desiredStartIndex,
exclusionIndex).concat(startingArray.slice(exclusionIndex+1));
With ECMAScript 5
const array = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
const removeAt = 1;
const newArray = [...array].splice(removeAt, 1);
[...array].splice(removeAt, 1); returns the removed element
