Introduction

The ReactiveArray package introduces a reactive version of the JavaScript Array object.

Installation

$ meteor add jagi:reactive-array

Usage

All methods are reactive. Values are stored in the original form, so you can also store functions and objects with functions. Objects are stored as references.

1var array = new ReactiveArray();
2
3array.get(1); // Returns a value at index 1.
4array.get(); // Returns all values.
5
6array.length(); // Returns array length.
7
8array.slice(1, -1); // Slices a chunk of array.
9
10array.set(0, 'value'); // Insert a value at index 0.
11array.set([ // Replace current values with new ones.
12  'value1',
13  'value2',
14  'value3'
15]);
16
17// Pushes a value at the end and returns a new array length.
18array.push('value4');
19// Pops a value from the end and returns it.
20array.pop();
21
22// Pushes a value at the beginning and returns a new array length.
23array.unshift('value0');
24// Pops a value from the beginning and returns it.
25array.shift();
