I am in the process of developing a simple app using AngularJS. One of the key functionalities I am working on is removing items from a list. To achieve this, I have created the following code snippet:
$scope.removeItem = function(item) {
var toRemove = -1;
angular.forEach($scope.items, function(_item, key) {
if (item === _item) {
toRemove = key;
return false;
}
});
if (toRemove >= 0) {
$scope.items.splice(i, 1);
return true;
}
return false;
};
Currently, this code is functioning as intended. However, I have concerns about its performance as my dataset is relatively small. My main query pertains to the .forEach function. Does it operate asynchronously? In simpler terms, is there a possibility that the code below the angular.forEach block could execute before the iteration completes? The concept of asynchronous operations has been perplexing me, and I struggle to differentiate when they occur and when they do not.
Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
