Manipulating the array

You've seen how to change the values in the array. We can also manipulate the elements that make up the array by inserting and deleting elements and by rearranging them.

  • Thank you very much.

    With new version we can change WebStorage plugin to LocalStorage plugin, And use LocalStorage On item "array_save_example" event for set animals when LocalStorage Get item "array_save_example" loaded

    1. btn loadArray on clicked > LocalStorage Get item "array_save_example"

    2. LocalStorage On item "array_save_example" get > animals Load from Json string LocalStorage.ItemValue
