Adding Value to Specific Array Index: A Guide for Make.com Users

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have an array and you want to add a specific value to a specific index of the array? This is a common challenge that many Make.com users face. But don't worry, we have a solution for you!

Understanding the Problem

Let's say you have an array and you want to add a value at a specific index. For example, you want the array index count to be 32 at the end and the new item to be placed into the 22nd index. And the rest of the items’ indexes will increase. This is similar to how the .splice() method works in JavaScript.

The Solution

Here's a solution that should work:

{{flatten(add(slice(1.arrays; 0; 3.newIndex); 3.newValue; slice(1.arrays; 3.newIndex; length(1.arrays))))}}

The first slice function will get an array up to the desired index, and the second slice will get the other half, and the add is used to insert a new value in the desired index.

Understanding the Solution

As we are using the add function in conjunction with slice, the result will look like:

[[1,2],3, [4,5]]

After the transformation, so flatten will convert the generated sub-array to a single tree:

[1,2,3,4,5]

Conclusion

So there you have it! A simple and effective way to add a specific value to a specific index of an array. Remember, the key is to use the slice function to get the parts of the array before and after the desired index, and then use the add function to insert the new value. Finally, use the flatten function to convert the generated sub-array into a single array. Happy coding!
