# splice()
The splice method removes and returns a slice of items starting at the specified index:
const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const chunk = collection.splice(2);
chunk.all();
// [3, 4, 5]
collection.all();
// [1, 2]
You may pass a second argument to limit the size of the resulting chunk:
const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const chunk = collection.splice(2, 1);
chunk.all();
// [3]
collection.all();
// [1, 2, 4, 5]
In addition, you can pass a third argument containing the new items to replace the items removed from the collection:
const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const chunk = collection.splice(2, 1, [10, 11]);
chunk.all();
// [3]
collection.all();
// [1, 2, 10, 11, 4, 5]
