toArray (Lodash Compatibility)

Use Object.values and Array.from instead

This toArray function performs slowly due to complex type validation and handling of various inputs.

Instead, use faster and more modern Object.values or Array.from.

Converts a value to an array.

const array = toArray(value);

Reference

toArray(value)

Converts various values to arrays. Objects are converted to arrays of their values, array-like objects are converted to arrays, and everything else becomes an empty array.

import { toArray } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

// Convert object to array of values
toArray({ a: 1, b: 2 });
// Returns: [1, 2]

// Convert string to array of characters
toArray('abc');
// Returns: ['a', 'b', 'c']

// Convert Map to array of values
const map = new Map([
  ['a', 1],
  ['b', 2],
]);
toArray(map);
// Returns: [['a', 1], ['b', 2]]

null or undefined are converted to empty arrays.

import { toArray } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

toArray(null);
// Returns: []

toArray(undefined);
// Returns: []
