Compact and join array

JavaScript, Array · Apr 8, 2022

Removes falsy values from an array and combines the remaining values into a string.

Use Array.prototype.filter() to filter out falsy values (false, null, 0, "", undefined, and NaN).
Use Array.prototype.join() to join the remaining values into a string.

const compactJoin = (arr, delim = ',') => arr.filter(Boolean).join(delim);

compactJoin(['a', '', 'b', 'c']); // 'a,b,c'
