Function: arrayable() ​

arrayable<T>(value): ItemType<T>[]

Converts a value into an array. This function handles different types of input, converting them to arrays as follows:

  • If the value is already an array, it returns it as-is.
  • If the value is a string, it splits the string by commas and trims the elements.
  • If the value is null or undefined, it returns an empty array.
  • Otherwise, it wraps the value in an array.

Type Parameters ​

• T

Parameters ​

• value: ArrayableValue<T>

The value to convert into an array. It can be of any type.

Returns ​

ItemType<T>[]

An array derived from the input value.

Example ​

ts
arrayable(42); // [42]
arrayable('a, b, c'); // ['a', 'b', 'c']
arrayable([1, 2, 3]); // [1, 2, 3]
arrayable(null); // []
arrayable(undefined); // []
