ways to flatten an array js code example

Example 1: flatten nested array javascript

// using recursion, .reduce() and .concat() methods
// works with arrays of any depth

function flatten(arr)
{
	return arr.reduce((acc, cur) => acc.concat(Array.isArray(cur) ? flatten(cur) : cur), []);
};

const arr = [[1,2],[3,[4,[5]]]];

const flattened = flatten(arr);
console.log(flattened);

/*
	Output: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
*/

Example 2: flatten an array javascript

var arrays = [
  ["$6"],
  ["$12"],
  ["$25"],
  ["$25"],
  ["$18"],
  ["$22"],
  ["$10"]
];
var merged = [].concat.apply([], arrays);

console.log(merged);
