Javascript Array tips and tricks

1. Remove duplicates value from an array

const languages = ['java', 'php', 'ruby', 'python', 'php', 'python'];
console.log(languages);

// First method
const uniqueLangs = Array.from(new Set(languages));
console.log(uniqueLangs);

// Second method
const uniqueLangs2 = [...new Set(languages)];
console.log(uniqueLangs2);

2. Replace the specific value in an array

Using: Array.splice(index, howmany, item1, ..., itemX)

const languages = ['java', 'php', 'ruby', 'python', 'php', 'python'];
console.log(languages);

languages.splice(0, 2, 'go', 'js', 'perl');
console.log(languages); // return ["go", "js", "perl", "ruby", "python", "php", "python"]

3. Create a new array with the sub-array elements concatenated into it

Using: flat() & flat(depth) (Refer)

// Ex1:
const arr1 = [0, 1, 2, [3, 4]];
console.log(arr1.flat());
console.log(arr1.reduce((acc, val) => acc.concat(val), [])); // equivalent to flat
console.log([].concat.apply([], arr1)); // equivalent to flat
// Expected output: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

// Ex2:
const arr2 = [0, 1, 2, [[[3, 4]]]];
console.log(arr2.flat(2)); // Expected output: [0, 1, 2, [3, 4]]

4. Find max/min value in an array

let numbers = [50, 300, 400, 1500];

let min = Math.min(...numbers);
console.log(min); // 80
 // Or
min = Math.min.apply(null, numbers);
console.log(min); // 80

let max = Math.max(...numbers);
console.log(max); // 80
// Or
max = Math.max.apply(null, numbers);
console.log(max); // 80

5. Filling an array with values

let values = Array.from({length: 3}); // Creating an Array with undefined
console.log(values); // [undefined, undefined, undefined]

values = Array.from({length: 3}, () => 0); // Creating an Array with small integers
console.log(values); // [ 0, 0, 0 ]

values = Array.from({length: 3}, () => ({})); // Creating an Array with unique (unshared) objects
console.log(values); // [ {}, {}, {} ]

values = Array.from({length: 3}, (x, i) => i); // Creating an Array with ascending integers
console.log(values); // [ 0, 1, 2 ]
