how to flatten an array of arrays javascript code example

Example 1: javascript array flatten

// flat(depth), 
// depth is optional: how deep a nested array structure 
//		should be flattened.
//		default value of depth is 1 

const arr1 = [1, 2, [3, 4]];
arr1.flat(); 
// [1, 2, 3, 4]

const arr2 = [1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]]];
arr2.flat();
// [1, 2, 3, 4, [5, 6]]

const arr3 = [1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6]]];
arr3.flat(2);
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

const arr4 = [1, 2, [3, 4, [5, 6, [7, 8, [9, 10]]]]];
arr4.flat(Infinity);
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Example 2: array flatten

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

// To flat single level array
arr.flat();
// is equivalent to
arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc.concat(val), []);
// [1, 2, 3, 4]

// or with decomposition syntax
const flattened = arr => [].concat(...arr);

Example 3: flatten an array javascript

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

console.log(merged);

Example 4: Javascript flatten array of arrays

var multiDimensionArray = [["a"],["b","c"],["d"]]; //array of arrays
var flatArray = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], multiDimensionArray); //flatten array of arrays
console.log(flatArray); // [ "a","b","c","d"];
