How do I separate an integer into separate digits in an array in JavaScript?

Why not just do this?

var n =  123456789;
var digits = (""+n).split("");

What about:

const n = 123456;
Array.from(n.toString()).map(Number);
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

(123456789).toString(10).split("")

^^ this will return an array of strings

(123456789).toString(10).split("").map(function(t){return parseInt(t)})

^^ this will return an array of ints

I realize this was asked several months ago, but I have an addition to samccone's answer which is more succinct but I don't have the rep to add as a comment!

Instead of:

(123456789).toString(10).split("").map(function(t){return parseInt(t)})

Consider:

(123456789).toString(10).split("").map(Number)
