Some code, that will flatten an array of arbitrarily nested arrays
// ECMAScript 6
const flatten = (arr) =>
// Reducer concat array items to accumulated result
// or recursively calls flatten again if the item is an array.
arr.reduce((acc, item) =>
acc.concat(Array.isArray(item) ? flatten(item) // recursively flatten nested array
: item), // concat ordinary item
[]); // init empty accumulator
console.log(flatten( [[1,2,[3]],4] ));
