On the way of development of my project I came to need to have set methods for javascript Array object especially intersection. Googling has shown up some but they were not LGPL, the licence what I need, so I’ve written them. The following override contains:

• Ext message box input type configuration
• Conditional Ext.overrideIf
• New Array methods:
  • copy – one dimensional copy method
  • indexOf – index of a value within the array. New browsers may already implement this method, therefore conditional override.
  • lastIndexOf – last index of a value within the array. May be already implemented by browser too.
  • intersect – returns intersection of arrays, for example: [1,3,5,7].intersect([2,3,8,7,5]) returns [3,5,7]
  • union – returns union of arrays, for example: [1,3,5,7].union([2,3,8,7,5]) returns [1,2,3,5,7,8]
  • unique – removes duplicate values from the array and returns result as new array
• Ext.ux.clone – deep object or array cloning function

Overrides code:

/**
 * Ext.ux.Overrides
 *
 * This files contains various fixes and/or overridesds:
 *
 * 1. inputType selection for Ext.Msg.show
 * 2. Ext.overrideIf conditional override
 * 3. Array methods: indexOf, lastIndexOf, copy, unique, intersect, union
 * 4. Cloning function
