Arrify is a popular npm package designed to convert a value into an array. If you have a value, whether it's a string, number, object, or even a set, arrify ensures it gets converted into an array. If the value is null or undefined, it results in an empty array, making sure the output is always an array. This functionality greatly enhances the convenience and speed of developing applications, particularly JavaScript-based applications where conversions between different data types are common.
Using arrify is quite simple and straightforward thanks to its easy-to-use interface and integration capabilities with JavaScript. Start by installing it to your project using npm install arrify
.
Here's a quick usage example:
import arrify from 'arrify';
arrify('π¦');
//=> ['π¦']
arrify(['π¦']);
//=> ['π¦']
arrify(new Set(['π¦']));
//=> ['π¦']
arrify(null);
//=> []
arrify(undefined);
//=> []
In the above examples you can see that when a string, an array, or a new set is input, it outputs a new array. When null or undefined are given as input, it returns an empty array. This ensures type consistency which can be crucial in many development scenarios.
