Description
Example
Iteration / Transformation
forEach
Execute function for each
element
[1,2,3].forEach(n =>
Iteration / Transformation [Link](n))
map
Transform elements & return
new array
[1,2,3].map(n =>
Iteration / Transformation n*2) -> [2,4,6]
filter
Select elements based on
condition
[1,2,3].filter(n =>
Iteration / Transformation n>1) -> [2,3]
reduce
Reduce to a single value
[1,2,3].reduce((sum,
Iteration / Transformation n)=>sum+n,0) -> 6
reduceRight
Reduce from right to left
[1,2,3].reduceRight(
Iteration / Transformation (sum,n)=>sum+n,0)
some -> 6
True if any element matches
[1,2,3].some(n=>n>
 2) -> true
Iteration / Transformation
every
True if all elements match
[1,2,3].every(n>0)
Iteration / Transformation -> true
find
First element matching
condition
[1,2,3].find(n=>n>1)
Iteration / Transformation -> 2
findIndex
Index of first matching element
[1,2,3].findIndex(n=
Add / Remove Elements >n>1) -> 1
push
Add to end
[1,2].push(3) ->
Add / Remove Elements [1,2,3]
pop
Remove from end
[1,2,3].pop() -> [1,2]
Add / Remove Elements
unshift
Add to start
[2,3].unshift(1) ->
Add / Remove Elements [1,2,3]
shift
Remove from start
[1,2,3].shift() ->
Add / Remove Elements [2,3]
splice
Add/remove at index
 [1,2,3].splice(1,1,99
) -> [1,99,3]
Add / Remove Elements
slice
Copy portion
[1,2,3,4].slice(1,3)
Add / Remove Elements -> [2,3]
concat
Merge arrays
[1,2].concat([3,4])
Search / Index -> [1,2,3,4]
indexOf
First index of value
[1,2,3].indexOf(2) ->
Search / Index 1
lastIndexOf
Last index of value
[1,2,2].lastIndexOf(
Search / Index 2) -> 2
includes
Check if value exists
[1,2,3].includes(2)
Sort / Reverse -> true
sort
Sort array (mutates)
[3,1,2].sort() ->
Sort / Reverse [1,2,3]
reverse
Reverse array (mutates)
[1,2,3].reverse() ->
Other Useful [3,2,1]
join

 [1,2,3].join('-') ->
'1-2-3'
Other Useful
flat

[1,[2,3]].flat() ->
Other Useful [1,2,3]
flatMap
Map & flatten one level
[1,2].flatMap(x=>[x,
Other Useful x*2]) -> [1,2,2,4]
fill

Array(3).fill(0) ->
Other Useful [0,0,0]
copyWithin
