Mapping array values with constructors
JavaScriptAll snippets in this category →
Posted on Some type constructors, like String, Number, and Boolean, are 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]// 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]
