I'm learning Svelte, and read in the documentation that arrays need to be reassigned in order for a component or page to update it. For that they devised a more idiomatic solution. Instead of writing:
messages.push('hello');messages = messages;
you can write instead:
messages = [...messages, 'hello'];
Alright, makes sense. But then the documentation says:
You can use similar patterns to replace pop, shift, unshift and splice.
But how? I cannot see how you can remove items from an array. More to the point, how could I write the following more idiomatically?
messages.splice(messages.indexOf('hello'), 1);messages = messages;
