String To Array In One Line : JavaScript

Hey folks!
we can easily convert String into an array by using spread operator (...) :

const string = 'Shivam Kapasia';
const array = [...string];
console.log(`${array}`); // S,h,i,v,a,m, ,K,a,p,a,s,i,a

Note : The array will also include space, but if you don't want to store space in array first remove space from string then use spread operator.

What’s your preferred way to convert string into an array ?

Depends really why you want to convert it? Since a string is already iterable, for a lot of use cases the conversion is not necessary

Agreed!

And all of array methods are generic and can be called on string with call or apply.

You could also use str.split('')

Thanks for highlighting this, will definitely try with Intl.Segmenter.
