Ember.js MutableArray lastIndexOf() Method

Last Updated : 31 Aug, 2022

Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing large client-side web applications which is based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Ember.js is one of the most widely used front-end application frameworks. It is made to speed up development and increase productivity. Currently, it is utilized by a large number of websites, including Square, Discourse, Groupon, Linked In, Live Nation, Twitch, and Chipotle.

The lastIndexOf() method is used to find the last index of an object in the array.

Syntax:

lastIndexOf(object,startAt)

Parameters:

object: The object to find.
startAt: The index from where to search

Return Value: The last index of the given object’s occurrence. If the object is not present, then -1 is returned.

Step 1: To run the following examples you will need to have an ember project with you. To create one, you will need to install ember-cli first. Write the below code in the terminal:

npm install ember-cli

Now you can create the project by typing in the following piece of code:

ember new <project-name> --lang en

Step 2: To start the server, type:

ember serve

Example 1: Type the following code to generate the route for this example:

ember generate route list

app/routes/list.js

import Route from '@ember/routing/route'; 
  
export default class ListRoute extends Route { 
    list = ['a', 'a', 'v', 'c', 'c', 'a',  
    'd', 'q', 'b', 'z', 'a']; 
    item; 
    idx; 
    model() { 
        return this.list; 
    } 
    setupController(controller, model) { 
        super.setupController(controller, model); 
        controller.set('list', this.list); 
        controller.set('item', this.item); 
        controller.set('idx', this.idx); 
    } 
} 

app/controllers/list.js

import Ember from 'ember'; 
import { clear, insertAt, indexOf, lastIndexOf,  
    includes } from '@ember/array'; 
  
export default Ember.Controller.extend({ 
    actions: { 
        insertItem(item, idx) { 
            this.list.insertAt(idx, item); 
        }, 
        getLastIndex(item) { 
            let res = this.list.lastIndexOf(item); 
            alert(res); 
        }, 
        getFirstIndex(item) { 
            let res = this.list.indexOf(item); 
            alert(res); 
        }, 
        clearList() { 
            this.list.clear(); 
        }, 
        contains(item) { 
            let res = this.list.includes(item); 
            alert(`The list ${res ? '' : 'does not'}  
            contains ${item}`); 
        }, 
    }, 
}); 

app/template/list.hbs

{{page-title "List"}}

<ul> 
    {{#each @model as |i|}} 
    <li>{{i}}</li> 
    {{/each}} 
</ul> 
<br /><br /> 
<div> 
    <label>Enter Item: </label> 
      {{input value=this.item}} 
</div> 
<div> 
    <label>Enter Index: </label> 
    {{input value=this.idx}} 
</div> 
<div>

<br /><br /> 
<div> 
    <label>Enter Item: </label> 
    {{input value=this.item}} 
</div> 
<div> 
    <input
        type="button"
        id="first-index-item"
        value="Get First Index"
        {{action "getFirstIndex" this.item}} 
  /> 
</div> 
<div> 
    <input
        type="button"
        id="last-index-item"
        value="Get Last Index"
        {{action "getLastIndex" this.item}} 
    /> 
</div> 
<div> 
    <input
        type="button"
        id="contains-item"
        value="Contains?"
        {{action "contains" this.item}} 
      /> 
</div> 
<br /><br /> 
<input type="button" id="clear-items" 
    value="Clear" {{action "clearList"}} /> 
{{outlet}}

        return this.partyItems; 
    } 
    setupController(controller, model) { 
        super.setupController(controller, model); 
        controller.set('partyItems', this.partyItems); 
        controller.set('item', this.item); 
        controller.set('idx', this.idx); 
    } 
}

        clearpartyItems() { 
            this.partyItems.clear(); 
        }, 
        contains(item) { 
            let res = this.partyItems.includes(item);
