Is there a more concise way to initialize empty multidimensional arrays?

Question

I\'ve been trying to find a reasonably concise way to set the dimensions of an empty multidimensional JavaScript array, but with no success so far.

First, I tried to

Answer 1

Very simple function, generate an array with any number of dimensions. Specify length of each dimension and the content which for me is '' usually

function arrayGen(content,dims,dim1Len,dim2Len,dim3Len...) {
  var args = arguments;
  function loop(dim) {
    var array = [];
    for (var a = 0; a < args[dim + 1]; a++) {
      if (dims > dim) {
        array[a] = loop(dim + 1);
      } else if (dims == dim) {
        array[a] = content;
      }
    }
    return array;
  }
  var  thisArray = loop(1);
  return thisArray;
};

I use this function very often, it saves a lot of time
