您可以实现一些基本的演算，并创建一个通用函数来将数组元素从一个位置移动到另一个位置。

对于JavaScript，它看起来是这样的:

function magicFunction (targetArray, indexFrom, indexTo) { 

    targetElement = targetArray[indexFrom]; 
    magicIncrement = (indexTo - indexFrom) / Math.abs (indexTo - indexFrom); 

    for (Element = indexFrom; Element != indexTo; Element += magicIncrement){ 
        targetArray[Element] = targetArray[Element + magicIncrement]; 
    } 

    targetArray[indexTo] = targetElement; 

}

    Array.prototype.moveUp = function (value, by) {
        var index = this.indexOf(value),
            newPos = index - (by || 1);

        if (index === -1)
            throw new Error("Element not found in array");

        if (newPos < 0)
            newPos = 0;

        this.splice(index, 1);
        this.splice(newPos, 0, value);
    };

    Array.prototype.moveDown = function (value, by) {
        var index = this.indexOf(value),
            newPos = index + (by || 1);

        if (index === -1)
            throw new Error("Element not found in array");

        if (newPos >= this.length)
            newPos = this.length;

        this.splice(index, 1);
        this.splice(newPos, 0, value);
    };



    var arr = ['banana', 'curyWurst', 'pc', 'remembaHaruMembaru'];

    alert('withiout changes= '+arr[0]+' ||| '+arr[1]+' ||| '+arr[2]+' ||| '+arr[3]);
    arr.moveDown(arr[2]);


    alert('third word moved down= '+arr[0] + ' ||| ' + arr[1] + ' ||| ' + arr[2] + ' ||| ' + arr[3]);
    arr.moveUp(arr[2]);
    alert('third word moved up= '+arr[0] + ' ||| ' + arr[1] + ' ||| ' + arr[2] + ' ||| ' + arr[3]);

该方法将保留原始数组，并检查边界错误。

const move = (from, to, arr) => {
    to = Math.max(to,0)
    from > to 
        ? [].concat(
            arr.slice(0,to), 
            arr[from], 
            arr.filter((x,i) => i != from).slice(to)) 
        : to > from
            ? [].concat(
                arr.slice(0, from), 
                arr.slice(from + 1, to + 1), 
                arr[from], 
                arr.slice(to + 1))
            : arr}

打印稿版本

摘自@Merc的回答。我最喜欢这个，因为它没有创建新的数组，而是在适当的地方修改数组。我所做的只是更新到ES6并添加类型。

export function moveItemInArray<T>(workArray: T[], fromIndex: number, toIndex: number): T[] {
    if (toIndex === fromIndex) {
        return workArray;
    }
    const target = workArray[fromIndex];
    const increment = toIndex < fromIndex ? -1 : 1;

    for (let k = fromIndex; k !== toIndex; k += increment) {
        workArray[k] = workArray[k + increment];
    }
    workArray[toIndex] = target;
    return workArray;
}

下面是我的一行ES6解决方案，带有一个可选参数。

if (typeof Array.prototype.move === "undefined") {
  Array.prototype.move = function(from, to, on = 1) {
    this.splice(to, 0, ...this.splice(from, on))
  }
}

digiguru提出的第一个解决方案的改编

on的参数是你想要移动的元素个数。

这里有一个可链接的变化:

if (typeof Array.prototype.move === "undefined") {
  Array.prototype.move = function(from, to, on = 1) {
    return this.splice(to, 0, ...this.splice(from, on)), this
  }
}

[3, 4, 5, 1, 2].move(3, 0, 2) // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

如果你想避免原型污染，这里有一个独立的函数:

function move(array, from, to, on = 1) {
  return array.splice(to, 0, ...array.splice(from, on)), array
}

move([3, 4, 5, 1, 2], 3, 0, 2) // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

最后，这是一个不会改变原始数组的纯函数:

function moved(array, from, to, on = 1) {
  return array = array.slice(), array.splice(to, 0, ...array.splice(from, on)), array
}

这应该涵盖了其他答案中出现的所有变化。

我认为最好的方法是为数组定义一个新属性

Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'move', {
    value: function (old_index, new_index) {
        while (old_index < 0) {
            old_index += this.length;
        }
        while (new_index < 0) {
            new_index += this.length;
        }
        if (new_index >= this.length) {
            let k = new_index - this.length;
            while ((k--) + 1) {
                this.push(undefined);
            }
        }
        this.splice(new_index, 0, this.splice(old_index, 1)[0]);
        return this;
    }
});

console.log([10, 20, 30, 40, 50].move(0, 1));  // [20, 10, 30, 40, 50]
console.log([10, 20, 30, 40, 50].move(0, 2));  // [20, 30, 10, 40, 50]
