Methods

<static> Add(array, item [, limit] [, callback] [, context])

Adds the given item, or array of items, to the array.

Each item must be unique within the array.

You can optionally specify a callback to be invoked for each item successfully added to the array.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`array`	array		The array to be added to.
`item`	any \| Array.<any>		The item, or array of items, to add to the array. Each item must be unique within the array.

<static> NumberArray(start, end [, prefix] [, suffix])

Create an array representing the range of numbers (usually integers), between, and inclusive of, the given start and end arguments. For example:

This is equivalent to Phaser.Utils.Array.NumberArrayStep(start, end, 1).

You can optionally provide a prefix and / or suffix string. If given the array will contain strings, not integers. For example:

var array = Phaser.Utils.Array.NumberArray(1, 4, 'Level '); // array = ["Level 1", "Level 2", "Level 3", "Level 4"] var array = Phaser.Utils.Array.NumberArray(5, 7, 'HD-', '.png'); // array = ["HD-5.png", "HD-6.png", "HD-7.png"]
