How to get a range of items from a JavaScript array?
To get a range of items from a JavaScript array, we can use the array slice
method.
For instance, we write
const fruits = ["apple", "banana", "peach", "plum", "pear"];
const slice1 = fruits.slice(1, 3);
const slice2 = fruits.slice(3);
to call fruits.slice
with 1 and 3 to return an array from fruits
at index 1 and 2.
Next, we call slice
with 3 to return an array from fruits
at index 3 to the end of the array.
Therefore, slice1
is ['banana', 'peach']
.
And slice2
is ['plum', 'pear']
.
Conclusion
To get a range of items from a JavaScript array, we can use the array slice
method.
