How to define an array with conditional elements?

Question

how can i define conditional array elements? i want to do something like this:

const cond = true;
const myArr = [\"foo\", cond && \"bar\"];

You don't have so many options other than using push:

const cond = true;
const myArr = ["foo"];

if (cond) myArr.push("bar");

Another idea is potentially adding null's and filtering them out:

const cond = true;
const myArr = ["foo", cond ? "bar" : null];

myArr = myArr.filter((item) => item !== null);
