Learn from Saki: Array Overrides

Code in this post can be obsolete, however, principles and theory may still apply.

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:

// vim: ts=4:sw=4:nu:fdc=4:nospell
/**

 * 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
