[removed] move objects from one array to another: Best approach?

Question

I have two arrays, called \'objects\' and \'appliedObjects\'. I\'m trying to come up with an elegant way in Javascript and/or Angular to move objects from one array to anot

Answer 1

When a construct does too much automatically (like forEach, or even a for-loop, in this case), use a more primitive construct that allows you to say what should happen clearly, without need to work around the construct. Using a while loop, you can express what needs to happen without resorting to backing up or otherwise applying workarounds:

function moveSelected(src, dest)  {
    var i = 0;
    while ( i < src.length ) {
        var item = src[i];
        if (item.selected) {
            src.splice(i,1);
            dest.push(item);
        }
        else i++;
    }
}
