Split comma-separated input box values into array in jquery, and loop through it

Question

I have a hidden input box from which I\'m retrieving the comma-separated text value (e.g. \'apple,banana,jam\') using:

var searchTerms = $(\"#se         


        

Answer 1

use js split() method to create an array

var keywords = $('#searchKeywords').val().split(",");

then loop through the array using jQuery.each() function. as the documentation says:

In the case of an array, the callback is passed an array index and a corresponding array value each time

$.each(keywords, function(i, keyword){
   console.log(keyword);
});
