13 Javascript one-liner tricks with Arrays.

1. Calculate the sum of all the values in an array

const arr= [1,4,5,7];
const arrSum = arr.reduce((a,b)=>a+b);
// valSum --  17

2. Generating array from a function arguments

function generateArray() {
    return Array.from(arguments);
}
f(1,2,4))
//result -- [1,2,4]

3. Sorting the value of an array in ascending order.

const sortArrayValues = (values) => {
    if(!Array.isArray(values)){
      return null
    }
    return  values.sort((a,b)=>a-b);
 }

4. Reverse the values of an array

const fruits= ['Banana','Orange','Melon','Grape'];
const reverseFruits = fruits.reverse();
//result ['Grape','Melon','Orange','Banana'];

5. Removing the duplicates in an array

let fruits = ['banana','mango','apple','sugarcane','mango','apple']

let uniqueFruits = Array.from(new Set(fruits));

 // uniqueFruits -- [ 'banana', 'manago', 'apple', 'sugarcane' ]

6. Emptying an array.

let fruits = [3,'mango',6,9,'mango','apple']
  
fruits.length = 0;

7. Convert an array to an Object.

const arrayVal= ['Tokyo', 'Belfast','Birmigham', 'Lagos']
const fruitsObj = {...arrayVal};

8. Merging multiple arrays into one.

let fruits = ['banana','manago','apple'];
let meat = ["Poultry","beef","fish"]
let vegetables = ["Potato","tomato","cucumber"];
let food = [...fruits,...meat,...vegetables];
  
// food  -- ['banana',  'manago','apple',   'sugarcane','manago',  'apple','Poultry', 'beef','fish',    'Potato','tomato',  'cucumber']

9. Replace a specific value in an array

var fruits2 = ['apple', 'sugarcane', 'manago'];
    
fruits2.splice(0,2,"potato","tomato");
    
// fruits2  ['potato', 'tomato', 'apple', 'sugarcane', 'manago']

10. Mapping array from objects without maps

const friends = [
      {name:"John", age:22},
      {name:"Peter", age:23},
      {name:"bimbo",age:34},
      {name:"mark",age:45},
      {name:"Esther",age:21},
      {name:"Monica",age:19}
  ];
  
 let friendNames = Array.from(friends,({name})=>name);
  
 // friendNames --['John', 'Peter', 'bimbo', 'mark', 'Esther', 'Monica' ]

11. Filling an array with data

let newArray = new Array(8).fill("3");
  
// result -- ['3', '3', '3', '3','3', '3', '3', '3']

12. Merging only duplicates values in two arrays

let arrOne = [0,3,4,7,8,8];
let arrTwo = [1,2,3,4,8,6];

const duplicatedValue = [...new Set(arrOne)].filter(item=>arrTwo.includes(item));
// duplicatedValue -- [ 3, 4, 8]

13. Remove falsy values in an array.

const mixedValues = [undefined,"blue",0,"",NaN,true,,"white",false];
const filteredArray = mixedArray.filter(Boolean);
//result [ 'blue', true, 'white' ]
