Array
arrayMax
Returns the maximum value in an array.
Use Math.max()
combined with the spread operator (...
) to get the maximum value in the array.
const arrayMax = arr => Math.max(...arr);
// arrayMax([10, 1, 5]) -> 10
arrayMin
Returns the minimum value in an array.
Use Math.min()
combined with the spread operator (...
) to get the minimum value in the array.
const arrayMin = arr => Math.min(...arr);
// arrayMin([10, 1, 5]) -> 1
chunk
Chunks an array into smaller arrays of a specified size.
Use Array.from()
to create a new array, that fits the number of chunks that will be produced.
Use Array.slice()
to map each element of the new array to a chunk the length of size
.
If the original array can't be split evenly, the final chunk will contain the remaining elements.
const chunk = (arr, size) =>
Array.from({length: Math.ceil(arr.length / size)}, (v, i) => arr.slice(i * size, i * size + size));
// chunk([1,2,3,4,5], 2) -> [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
compact
Removes falsey values from an array.
Use Array.filter()
to filter out falsey values (false
, null
, 0
, ""
, undefined
, and NaN
).
const compact = (arr) => arr.filter(Boolean);
// compact([0, 1, false, 2, '', 3, 'a', 'e'*23, NaN, 's', 34]) -> [ 1, 2, 3, 'a', 's', 34 ]
countOccurrences
Counts the occurrences of a value in an array.
Use Array.reduce()
to increment a counter each time you encounter the specific value inside the array.
const countOccurrences = (arr, value) => arr.reduce((a, v) => v === value ? a + 1 : a + 0, 0);
// countOccurrences([1,1,2,1,2,3], 1) -> 3
deepFlatten
Deep flattens an array.
Use recursion.
Use Array.concat()
with an empty array ([]
) and the spread operator (...
) to flatten an array.
Recursively flatten each element that is an array.
const deepFlatten = arr => [].concat(...arr.map(v => Array.isArray(v) ? deepFlatten(v) : v));
// deepFlatten([1,[2],[[3],4],5]) -> [1,2,3,4,5]
difference

// distinctValuesOfArray([1,2,2,3,4,4,5]) -> [1,2,3,4,5]
dropElements
Removes elements in an array until the passed function returns true
. Returns the remaining elements in the array.
Loop through the array, using Array.shift()
to drop the first element of the array until the returned value from the function is true
.
Returns the remaining elements.
const dropElements = (arr, func) => {
while (arr.length > 0 && !func(arr[0])) arr.shift();
return arr;
};
// dropElements([1, 2, 3, 4], n => n >= 3) -> [3,4]
everyNth
Returns every nth element in an array.
Use Array.filter()
to create a new array that contains every nth element of a given array.
const everyNth = (arr, nth) => arr.filter((e, i) => i % nth === 0);
// everyNth([1,2,3,4,5,6], 2) -> [ 1, 3, 5 ]
filterNonUnique
Filters out the non-unique values in an array.
Use Array.filter()
for an array containing only the unique values.
const filterNonUnique = arr => arr.filter(i => arr.indexOf(i) === arr.lastIndexOf(i));
// filterNonUnique([1,2,2,3,4,4,5]) -> [1,3,5]
flatten
Flattens an array.
Use Array.reduce()
to get all elements inside the array and concat()
to flatten them.
const flatten = arr => arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(v), []);
// flatten([1,[2],3,4]) -> [1,2,3,4]
flattenDepth
Flattens an array up to the specified depth.
Use recursion, decrementing depth
by 1 for each level of depth.
Use Array.reduce()
and Array.concat()
to merge elements or arrays.
Base case, for depth
equal to 1
stops recursion.
Omit the second element, depth
to flatten only to a depth of 1
(single flatten).
const flattenDepth = (arr, depth = 1) =>
depth != 1 ? arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(Array.isArray(v) ? flattenDepth(v, depth - 1) : v), [])
: arr.reduce((a, v) => a.concat(v), []);
// flattenDepth([1,[2],[[[3],4],5]], 2) -> [1,2,[3],4,5]
groupBy
Groups the element of an array based on the given function.
Use Array.map()
to map the values of an array to a function or property name.
Use Array.reduce()
to create an object, where the keys are produced from the mapped results.
const groupBy = (arr, func) =>
arr.map(typeof func === 'function' ? func : val => val[func])
.reduce((acc, val, i) => { acc[val] = (acc[val] || []).concat(arr[i]); return acc; }, {});
// groupBy([6.1, 4.2, 6.3], Math.floor) -> {4: [4.2], 6: [6.1, 6.3]}
// groupBy(['one', 'two', 'three'], 'length') -> {3: ['one', 'two'], 5: ['three']}

const initial = arr => arr.slice(0, -1);
// initial([1,2,3]) -> [1,2]
initializeArrayWithRange
Initializes an array containing the numbers in the specified range.
Use Array(end-start)
to create an array of the desired length, Array.map()
to fill with the desired values in a range.
You can omit start
to use a default value of 0
.
const initializeArrayWithRange = (end, start = 0) =>
Array.from({ length: end - start }).map((v, i) => i + start);
// initializeArrayWithRange(5) -> [0,1,2,3,4]
initializeArrayWithValues
Initializes and fills an array with the specified values.
Use Array(n)
to create an array of the desired length, fill(v)
to fill it with the desired values.
You can omit value
to use a default value of 0
.
const initializeArrayWithValues = (n, value = 0) => Array(n).fill(value);
// initializeArrayWithValues(5, 2) -> [2,2,2,2,2]
intersection
Returns a list of elements that exist in both arrays.
Create a Set
from b
, then use Array.filter()
on a
to only keep values contained in b
.
const intersection = (a, b) => { const s = new Set(b); return a.filter(x => s.has(x)); };
// intersection([1,2,3], [4,3,2]) -> [2,3]
last
Returns the last element in an array.
Use arr.length - 1
to compute index of the last element of the given array and returning it.
const last = arr => arr[arr.length - 1];
// last([1,2,3]) -> 3
mapObject
Maps the values of an array to an object using a function, where the key-value pairs consist of the original value as the key and the mapped value.
Use an anonymous inner function scope to declare an undefined memory space, using closures to store a return value. Use a new Array
to stor the array with a map of the function over its data set and a comma operator to return a second step, without needing to move from one context to another (due to closures and order of operations).
const mapObject = (arr, fn) =>
(a => (a = [arr, arr.map(fn)], a[0].reduce( (acc,val,ind) => (acc[val] = a[1][ind], acc), {}) )) ( );
/*
const squareIt = arr => mapObject(arr, a => a*a)
squareIt([1,2,3]) // { 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9 }
*/
nthElement

If the index is out of bounds, return []
.
Omit the second argument, n
, to get the first element of the array.
const nthElement = (arr, n=0) => (n>0? arr.slice(n,n+1) : arr.slice(n))[0];
// nthElement(['a','b','c'],1) -> 'b'
// nthElement(['a','b','b'],-3) -> 'a'
pick

const pick = (obj, arr) =>
arr.reduce((acc, curr) => (curr in obj && (acc[curr] = obj[curr]), acc), {});
// pick({ 'a': 1, 'b': '2', 'c': 3 }, ['a', 'c']) -> { 'a': 1, 'c': 3 }
pull
Mutates the original array to filter out the values specified.
Use Array.filter()
and Array.includes()
to pull out the values that are not needed.
Use Array.length = 0
to mutate the passed in array by resetting it's length to zero and Array.push()
to re-populate it with only the pulled values.
const pull = (arr, ...args) => {
let pulled = arr.filter((v, i) => !args.includes(v));
arr.length = 0; pulled.forEach(v => arr.push(v));
};
// let myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c'];
// pull(myArray, 'a', 'c');
// console.log(myArray) -> [ 'b', 'b' ]
remove
Removes elements from an array for which the given function returns false
.
Use Array.filter()
to find array elements that return truthy values and Array.reduce()
to remove elements using Array.splice()
.
The func
is invoked with three arguments (value, index, array
).
const remove = (arr, func) =>
Array.isArray(arr) ? arr.filter(func).reduce((acc, val) => {
arr.splice(arr.indexOf(val), 1); return acc.concat(val);
}, [])
: [];

Use Math.random()
to generate a random number, multiply it with length
and round it of to the nearest whole number using Math.floor()
.
This method also works with strings.
const sample = arr => arr[Math.floor(Math.random() * arr.length)];
// sample([3, 7, 9, 11]) -> 9
shuffle
Randomizes the order of the values of an array.
Use Array.sort()

in the comparator.
const shuffle = arr => arr.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
// shuffle([1,2,3]) -> [2,3,1]
similarity
Returns an array of elements that appear in both arrays.
Use filter()
to remove values that are not part of values

Returns an array with n elements removed from the beginning.
Use Array.slice()
to create a slice of the array with n
elements taken from the beginning.

Use Array.slice()
to create a slice of the array with n
elements taken from the end.

// without([2, 1, 2, 3], 1, 2) -> [3]
zip
Creates an array of elements, grouped based on the position in the original arrays.
Use Math.max.apply()
to get the longest array in the arguments.
Creates an array with that length as return value and use Array.from()
with a map-function to create an array of grouped elements.
If lengths of the argument-arrays vary, undefined
is used where no value could be found.
const zip = (...arrays) => {
const maxLength = Math.max(...arrays.map(x => x.length));
return Array.from({length: maxLength}).map((_, i) => {
return Array.from({length: arrays.length}, (_, k) => arrays[k][i]);
})
}
//zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [true, false]); -> [['a', 1, true], ['b', 2, false]]
//zip(['a'], [1, 2], [true, false]); -> [['a', 1, true], [undefined, 2, false]]

palindrome
Returns true
if the given string is a palindrome, false
otherwise.
Convert string toLowerCase()
and use replace()
to remove non-alphanumeric characters from it.
Then, split('')
into individual characters, reverse()
, join('')
and compare to the original, unreversed string, after converting it tolowerCase()
.
const palindrome = str => {
const s = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W_]/g,'');
return s === s.split('').reverse().join('');
}
// palindrome('taco cat') -> true
