Description:
Javascript array filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
Syntax:
array.filter(callback[, thisObject]); |
Here is the detail of parameters:
- callback : Function to test each element of the array.
- thisObject : Object to use as this when executing callback.
Return Value:
Returns created array.
Compatibility:
This method is a JavaScript extension to the ECMA-262 standard; as such it may not be present in other implementations of the standard. To make it work you need to add following code at the top of your script:
if (!Array.prototype.filter)
{
Array.prototype.filter = function(fun /*, thisp*/)
{
var len = this.length;
if (typeof fun != "function")
throw new TypeError();
var res = new Array();
var thisp = arguments[1];
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if (i in this)
{
var val = this[i]; // in case fun mutates this
if (fun.call(thisp, val, i, this))
res.push(val);
}
}
return res;
};
}
|
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Array filter Method</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (!Array.prototype.filter)
{
Array.prototype.filter = function(fun /*, thisp*/)
{
var len = this.length;
if (typeof fun != "function")
throw new TypeError();
var res = new Array();
var thisp = arguments[1];
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if (i in this)
{
var val = this[i]; // in case fun mutates this
if (fun.call(thisp, val, i, this))
res.push(val);
}
}
return res;
};
}
function isBigEnough(element, index, array) {
return (element >= 10);
}
var filtered = [12, 5, 8, 130, 44].filter(isBigEnough);
document.write("Filtered Value : " + filtered );
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
This will produce following result:
Filtered Value : 12,130,44 |
