Read fire tipMapping array values with constructors
JavaScript
Some type constructors can be called as regular functions in JavaScript. We can use them when mapping over arrays to quickly transform the values in them to that type.
// values passed to a constructor are transformed to that type
[4, 8, 15].map(number => String(number)) // ⇒ ["4", "8", "15"]
["16", "23", "42"].map(string => Number(string)) // ⇒ [16, 23, 42]
[1, 1, 0].map(value => Boolean(value)) // ⇒ [true, true, false]
// we only pass the values through, so we can use this shorthand notation
[4, 8, 15].map(String) // ⇒ ["4", "8", "15"]
["16", "23", "42"].map(Number) // ⇒ [16, 23, 42]
[1, 1, 0].map(Boolean) // ⇒ [true, true, false]
