Array.push() and unique items

Question

I have a simple case of pushing unique values into array. It looks like this:

  this.items = [];

  add(item) {
    if(this.items.indexOf(item) > -1) {
           


        

Answer 1

You have to use === -1, if it equals to -1 i.e. item is not available in your array:

  this.items = [];

  add(item) {
    if(this.items.indexOf(item) === -1) {
      this.items.push(item);
      console.log(this.items);
    }
  }
