Question

I am trying to remove a element from my array using slice, but i can’t get it to work, look at this piece of code.

    console.log(this.activeEffects); // Prints my array
    console.log(this.activeEffects.slice(0,1)); // Remove from index 0, and remove one.
    console.log(this.activeEffects); // Prints array again, this time my element should be gone

Result of this is.

So what is get from this is, at first the array is whole, as it should be. Then its prints what is sliced of the array. Finally the third should be empty? or?

Answer 1

I believe you’re looking for splice. From W3 Schools:

The splice() method adds/removes items to/from an array, and returns the removed item(s).

Take a look at the example on that page; the use case there is similar to what you want to achieve.

EDIT: Alternative link to MDN, as suggested by Nicosunshine; much more information about the command there.
