value - remove element from array javascript

Get item in sub array and put back to main array (5)

I have a problem when get item in sub array and put back to main array by javascript. I have array like this:

var array_demo = [
    ['1st', '1595', '8886'],
    ['2nd', '1112']
]

I want to get result like this: ['1595','8886','1112']

But when I use this code:

array_demo.map(function(i) {
    return i.slice(1).join();
});

Result: ['1595,8886', '1112']

Can someone help me ?

Use Array.prototype.reduce()

var array_demo = [
    ['1st', '1595', '8886'],
    ['2nd', '1112']
]

var reduced_array = array_demo.reduce((reducedArray, elem) => {
  elem.shift() // Remove the first item
  return reducedArray.concat(elem)
}, [])

console.log(reduced_array)

Instead of join() use Array.prototype.flat() on the returned result of map() :

var array_demo = [
    ['1st', '1595', '8886'],
    ['2nd', '1112']
]
array_demo = array_demo.map(function(i) {
    return i.slice(1);
}).flat();
console.log(array_demo);

In one liner using Arrow function(=>) :

var array_demo = [
    ['1st', '1595', '8886'],
    ['2nd', '1112']
]
array_demo = array_demo.map(i => i.slice(1)).flat();
console.log(array_demo);

You could also use array.reduce , and use it as follows:

array_demo.reduce( function(prev, curr, index) {
  return prev.concat(curr.slice(1)); 
} ).slice(1);

Thing is, array.map, returns the result for each element in the array. So, in your example, it has two cycles:

['1st', '1595', '8886'] -> returns '1595,8886' because you used join()
['2nd', '1112'] -> returns '1112' also because you used join()

And you get that in an array -> ['1595,8886', '1112'].

You could destructure the array and take the rest without the first element and flatten this array using Array.flatMap .

var array = [['1st', '1595', '8886'], ['2nd', '1112']],
    result = array.flatMap(([_, ...a]) => a);

console.log(result);

Alternatively Array.slice() works as well.

var array = [['1st', '1595', '8886'], ['2nd', '1112']],
    result = array.flatMap(a => a.slice(1));

console.log(result);

when we need a single accumulated values, we can use reduce funcions.

var array_demo = [
    ['1st', '1595', '8886'],
    ['2nd', '1112']
]

var l = array_demo.reduce((val, item)=> {
    return val.concat(item.slice(1));
},[]);

console.log(l);
