flattenDeep
Flattens all depths of a nested array.
It works the same as if you called Array#flat as flat(Infinity)
in the JavaScript language, but it's faster.
Signature
typescript
// Utility type for recursively unpacking nested array types to extract the type of the innermost element
type ExtractNestedArrayType<T> = T extends ReadonlyArray<infer U> ? ExtractNestedArrayType<U> : T;
function flattenDeep<T>(arr: T[]): Array<ExtractNestedArrayType<T>>;
Parameters
arr
(T[]
): The array to flatten.
Returns
(Array<ExtractNestedArrayType<T>>
): A new array with all depths flattened.
Examples
typescript
const array = [1, [2, [3]], [4, [5, 6]]];
const result = flattenDeep(array);
// Return [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
