Split array into chunks
arrays, javascript, split
Solution
The `array.slice()` method can extract a slice from the beginning, middle, or end of an array for whatever purposes you require, without changing the original array.
const chunkSize = 10;
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += chunkSize) {
const chunk = array.slice(i, i + chunkSize);
// do whatever
}
The last `chunk` may be smaller than `chunkSize`. For example when given an `array` of 12 elements the first chunk will have 10 elements, the second chunk only has 2.
Note that a `chunkSize` of `0` will cause an infinite loop.
Problem
Let's say that I have an Javascript array looking as following: ``` ["Element 1","Element 2","Element 3",...]; // with close to a hundred elements. ``` What approach would be appropriate to chunk (split) the array into many smaller arrays with, lets say, 10 elements at its most?
