How to convert Set to Array?

javascript arrays collections syntax ecmascript-harmony

if no such option exists, then maybe there is a nice idiomaticone-liner for doing that ? like, using for...of, or similar ?

Indeed, there are several ways to convert a Set to an Array:

let array = Array.from(mySet);

Simply spreading the Set out in an array

let array = [...mySet];

The old-fashioned way, iterating and pushing to a new array (Sets do have forEach)

let array = [];mySet.forEach(v => array.push(v));

Previously, using the non-standard, and now deprecated array comprehension syntax:

let array = [v for (v of mySet)];

It turns out, we can use spread operator:

var myArr = [...mySet];

Or, alternatively, use Array.from:

var myArr = Array.from(mySet);

Assuming you are just using Set temporarily to get unique values in an array and then converting back to an Array, try using this:

_.uniq([])

This relies on using underscore or lo-dash.
