push.apply() not increasing array size

Question

I have this piece of code

if ($scope.newLeverAdded) {
    console.log("executed this");
    console.log($scope.tradeDataObj, "data is here");
    console.log($scope.group_levers, "this 2 here");
    $scope.group_levers.levers.push.apply($scope.group_levers.levers, $scope.tradeDataObj.levers[0]);

    console.log($scope.group_levers, "mid prrinting");
    console.log("after this");
}
console.log($scope.group_levers, "final prrinting");

All i am trying is to increase my Array size by adding new element to it.. SO that now the array contains 2 element. But the final console still returns a single element in array.

Why is it so?

2nd argument to apply need to be an array. Is $scope.tradeDataObj.levers[0] is an array? — user405398

Why are you using apply? Is there a specific reason for that? — user405398

No..there is no specific reason. All I need is to preserve previous array data and push new data..so that I can send complete JSON back to server. I would really appreciate if some one could illustrate when is the need for .apply() withpush — Saurabh Tiwari

I think you need:

$scope.group_levers.levers.push.apply($scope.group_levers.levers, $scope.tradeDataObj.levers);

The second argument of apply() should be an array.

I assume that you are trying to push multiple items like this and this

Mohayemin..thanx for pointing to right direction. I guessed, if the original source is array, only object should be added to it not the array again. Hence was doing levers[0]. Is this specifically the case fr apply

Without being able to run your code, here's a couple of things you can try:

it could be that your code is not entering the condition that you have specified.
why not just test with a $scope.group_levers.levers.push('new element') instead of the apply

Wierdly..when i tried .push($scope.tradeDataObj.levers[0]). The IDE throws syntax error sayong expected identifier

I am assuming $scope.group_levers.levers is an array.

Ya that surely an array...Thats why it was weird to see such response from IDE. Visual Studio, if that matters
