Join an array by a comma and a space
I have an array that I want converted to a comma delimited string. Array.toString()
works, but if I have a rather large array it won't wrap because there are no spaces after the commas:
document.body.innerHTML = ['css','html','xhtml','html5','css3','javascript','jquery','lesscss','arrays','wordpress','facebook','fbml','table','.htaccess','php','c','.net','c#','java'].toString();
// css,html,xhtml,html5,css3,javascript,jquery,lesscss,arrays,wordpress,facebook,fbml,table,.htaccess,php,c,.net,c#,java
How can I have spaces after the commas in order to allow line/word wrapping?
Example output:
css, html, xhtml, html5, css3, javascript, jquery, lesscss, arrays, wordpress, facebook, fbml, table, .htaccess, php, c, .net, c#, java
Solution 1:
In JavaScript there's a .join()
method on arrays to get a string, which you can provide the delimiter to. In your case it'd look like this:
var myArray = ['css','html','xhtml','html5','css3','javascript','jquery','lesscss','arrays','wordpress','facebook','fbml','table','.htaccess','php','c','.net','c#','java'];
var myString = myArray.join(', ');
You can test it out here
Solution 2:
Use array.join(", ");
and it should work
