Class Ember.Array public

Adds an array observer to the receiving array. The array observer object normally must implement two methods:

• arrayWillChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just before the array is modified.
• arrayDidChange(observedObj, start, removeCount, addCount) - This method will be called just after the array is modified.

Both callbacks will be passed the observed object, starting index of the change as well a a count of the items to be removed and added. You can use these callbacks to optionally inspect the array during the change, clear caches, or do any other bookkeeping necessary.

In addition to passing a target, you can also include an options hash which you can use to override the method names that will be invoked on the target.

If you are implementing an object that supports Ember.Array, call this method just after the array content changes to notify any observers and invalidate any related properties. Pass the starting index of the change as well as a delta of the amounts to change.

Returns a copy of the array with all null and undefined elements removed.

var arr = ['a', null, 'c', undefined];
arr.compact();  // ['a', 'c']

Returns true if the passed object can be found in the receiver. The default version will iterate through the enumerable until the object is found. You may want to override this with a more efficient version.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

arr.contains('a'); // true
arr.contains('z'); // false

Returns true if the passed function returns true for every item in the enumeration. This corresponds with the every() method in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true or false.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Example Usage:

if (people.every(isEngineer)) {
  Paychecks.addBigBonus();
}

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration that the passed function returns true for. This method corresponds to filter() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns an array with just the items with the matched property. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

Returns the first item in the array for which the callback returns true. This method works similar to the filter() method defined in JavaScript 1.6 except that it will stop working on the array once a match is found.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the true to include the item in the results, false otherwise.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns the first item with a property matching the passed value. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to true.

This method works much like the more generic find() method.

Iterates through the enumerable, calling the passed function on each item. This method corresponds to the forEach() method defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Alias for mapBy

Returns the index of the given object's first occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the starting location to search is 0. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'];

arr.indexOf('a');       //  0
arr.indexOf('z');       // -1
arr.indexOf('a', 2);    //  4
arr.indexOf('a', -1);   //  4
arr.indexOf('b', 3);    // -1
arr.indexOf('a', 100);  // -1

Returns true if the passed property resolves to the value of the second argument for all items in the enumerable. This method is often simpler/faster than using a callback.

Returns the index of the given object's last occurrence. If no startAt argument is given, the search starts from the last position. If it's negative, will count backward from the end of the array. Returns -1 if no match is found.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a'];

arr.lastIndexOf('a');       //  4
arr.lastIndexOf('z');       // -1
arr.lastIndexOf('a', 2);    //  0
arr.lastIndexOf('a', -1);   //  4
arr.lastIndexOf('b', 3);    //  1
arr.lastIndexOf('a', 100);  //  4

Maps all of the items in the enumeration to another value, returning a new array. This method corresponds to map() defined in JavaScript 1.6.

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration.
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return the mapped value.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as this on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Similar to map, this specialized function returns the value of the named property on all items in the enumeration.

Returns the object at the given index. If the given index is negative or is greater or equal than the array length, returns undefined.

This is one of the primitives you must implement to support Ember.Array. If your object supports retrieving the value of an array item using get() (i.e. myArray.get(0)), then you do not need to implement this method yourself.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

arr.objectAt(0);   // 'a'
arr.objectAt(3);   // 'd'
arr.objectAt(-1);  // undefined
arr.objectAt(4);   // undefined
arr.objectAt(5);   // undefined

This returns the objects at the specified indexes, using objectAt.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

arr.objectsAt([0, 1, 2]);  // ['a', 'b', 'c']
arr.objectsAt([2, 3, 4]);  // ['c', 'd', undefined]

Returns an array with all of the items in the enumeration where the passed function returns false. This method is the inverse of filter().

The callback method you provide should have the following signature (all parameters are optional):

function(item, index, enumerable);

• item is the current item in the iteration.
• index is the current index in the iteration
• enumerable is the enumerable object itself.

It should return a falsey value to include the item in the results.

Note that in addition to a callback, you can also pass an optional target object that will be set as "this" on the context. This is a good way to give your iterator function access to the current object.

Returns an array with the items that do not have truthy values for key. You can pass an optional second argument with the target value. Otherwise this will match any property that evaluates to false.

Removes an array observer from the object if the observer is current registered. Calling this method multiple times with the same object will have no effect.

Sets the value on the named property for each member. This is more efficient than using other methods defined on this helper. If the object implements Ember.Observable, the value will be changed to set(), otherwise it will be set directly. null objects are skipped.

Returns a new array that is a slice of the receiver. This implementation uses the observable array methods to retrieve the objects for the new slice.

var arr = ['red', 'green', 'blue'];

arr.slice(0);       // ['red', 'green', 'blue']
arr.slice(0, 2);    // ['red', 'green']
arr.slice(1, 100);  // ['green', 'blue']

Converts the enumerable into an array and sorts by the keys specified in the argument.

You may provide multiple arguments to sort by multiple properties.

Returns a new enumerable that excludes the passed value. The default implementation returns an array regardless of the receiver type unless the receiver does not contain the value.

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'a', 'c'];
arr.without('a');  // ['b', 'c']
