Question

I have an array of object and I’m looking to remove an element. However, the splice method seems to return the element removed, not the array without the element I wanted to remove.

This is what I have

var TheArray = TheObject.Array;
TheArray = TheArray.splice(TheIndex, 1); //TheIndex is the index of the element I want to remove
TheObject.Array = TheArrray;

When I debug and run this code, TheObject.Array contains the element I wanted to remove.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer 1

You are setting the value of TheArray to that of the item you are removing.

Rewrite your code like this:

var TheArray = TheObject.Array;
TheArray.splice(TheIndex, 1); //TheIndex is the index of the element I want to remove
TheObject.Array = TheArrray;
