//ES5 example | |
var flattenES5 = function (arr) { | |
return [].concat.apply([], arr.map(function (element) { | |
return Array.isArray(element) ? flatten(element) : element; | |
})) | |
} | |
//ES6 example | |
let flattenES6 = arr => [].concat.apply([], arr.map(element => Array.isArray(element) ? flatten(element) : element)) | |
//e.g. [[1,2,[3]],4] -> [1,2,3,4]. | |
var arr = [[1,2,[3]],4]; | |
flattenES5(arr); | |
flattenES6(arr) | |
//output | |
//[1,2,3,4] | |
//[1,2,3,4] |

Here is another take on the ES6 version:

? [].concat(...array.map(flatten))
: array
