Description

The @@isConcatSpreadable symbol (Symbol.isConcatSpreadable) can be defined as an own or inherited property and its value is a boolean. It can control behavior for arrays and array-like objects:

  • For array objects, the default behavior is to spread (flatten) elements. Symbol.isConcatSpreadable can avoid flattening in these cases.
  • For array-like objects, the default behavior is no spreading or flattening. Symbol.isConcatSpreadable can force flattening in these cases.

Examples

Arrays

By default, Array.prototype.concat() spreads (flattens) arrays into its result:

var alpha = ['a', 'b', 'c'], 
    numeric = [1, 2, 3]; 

var alphaNumeric = alpha.concat(numeric); 

console.log(alphaNumeric); // Result: ['a', 'b', 'c', 1, 2, 3]

When setting Symbol.isConcatSpreadable to false, you can disable the default behavior:

var alpha = ['a', 'b', 'c'], 
    numeric = [1, 2, 3]; 

numeric[Symbol.isConcatSpreadable] = false;
var alphaNumeric = alpha.concat(numeric); 

console.log(alphaNumeric); // Result: ['a', 'b', 'c', [1, 2, 3] ]

Array-like objects

For array-like objects, the default is to not spread. Symbol.isConcatSpreadable needs to be set to true in order to get a flattened array:

var x = [1, 2, 3];

var fakeArray = { 
  [Symbol.isConcatSpreadable]: true, 
  length: 2, 
  0: "hello", 
  1: "world" 
}

x.concat(fakeArray); // [1, 2, 3, "hello", "world"]
