Join method in javascript

Hello guys today i will be discussing join method in javascript.

What is join() used for?
It is used to join the elements of array and returns them as a string
Example -
arr -> ["A","B","C","D"]
After applying join() method on this array
result -> A,B,C,D

Syntax -
array.join(separator)

  • separator is the thing which will be applied to all the elements for joining them

Example -

let arr = [1,2,3,4,5]let joiner = arr.join("-")console.log(joiner)

Output-

1-2-3-4-5
  • As you can see it joins all the elements using the separator "-"

Let's understand this deeply with codes

Example 1 Default join without separator()

const emptyArray = []const numberArray = [1,2,3,4,5];const stringArray = ["A","B","C","D"];const objectArray = [  {    name:"Shubham",    age:21  },  {    name:"Shivam",    age:25  },  {    name:"Abhishek",    age:22  }]console.log(emptyArray.join())console.log(numberArray.join())console.log(stringArray.join())console.log(objectArray.join())

Output -

1,2,3,4,5A,B,C,D[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
  • As you can see it returns an empty string for empty array
  • It joins the array of numbers and strings with comma(,) but for object array it return something different means it can't join array of objects.

Example 2 Join with Separator -

const numberArray1 = [1,2,3,4,5];const numberArray2 = [6,7,8,9,10];const stringArray1 = ["A","B","C","D"];const stringArray2 = ["E","F","G","H"];const mixedArray = [1,2,3,4,5,"E","F","G","H"]const exceptionArray = [null,undefined,true,false]console.log(numberArray1.join("+"))console.log(numberArray2.join("*"))console.log(stringArray1.join("["))console.log(stringArray2.join("z"))console.log(mixedArray.join("mixed"))console.log(exceptionArray.join("-"))

Output -

1+2+3+4+56*7*8*9*10A[B[C[DEzFzGzH1mixed2mixed3mixed4mixed5mixedEmixedFmixedGmixedH--true-false
  • As you can see we have used different types of separator to join the elements of array.
  • Also in exceptionArray you can see that it return empty strings for null and undefined.

Example 3 Applying join on array passed in function parameters

const normalParameter = (arr) => {  console.log(arr.join("*"))}const restParameter = (...args) => {  console.log(args.join("-"))}normalParameter([1,2,3,4,5])restParameter(1,2,3,4,5)

Output -

1*2*3*4*51-2-3-4-5
  • It works with arrays passed as function parameters also.

Example 4 Join with other methods -

const arr = [1,2,3,4,5]// join with reverselet reverseMethod = arr.reverse().join("")console.log(reverseMethod)// join with split method to reverse the arraylet splitMethod = arr.join("").split("")console.log(splitMethod)

Output -

54321[ '5', '4', '3', '2', '1' ]
  • It works with other array and strings method too.
