How to do equivalent of LINQ SelectMany() just in javascript

Question

Unfortunately, I don\'t have JQuery or Underscore, just pure javascript (IE9 compatible).

I\'m wanting the equivalent of SelectMany() from LINQ functionality.

Here you go, a rewritten version of joel-harkes' answer in TypeScript as an extension, usable on any array. So you can literally use it like somearray.selectMany(c=>c.someprop). Trans-piled, this is javascript.

declare global {
    interface Array {
        selectMany(selectListFn: (t: TIn) => TOut[]): TOut[];
    }
}

Array.prototype.selectMany = function ( selectListFn: (t: TIn) => TOut[]): TOut[] {
    return this.reduce((out, inx) => {
        out.push(...selectListFn(inx));
        return out;
    }, new Array());
}


export { };
