How do you split an array into array pairs in JavaScript?

Question

I want to split an array into pairs of arrays.

var arr = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 5, 5]

would be

var newarr = [
    [2, 3],
           


        

Answer 1

Here's another solution using lodash helpers:

function toPairs(array) {
  const evens = array.filter((o, i) => i % 2);
  const odds = array.filter((o, i) => !(i % 2));
  return _.zipWith(evens, odds, (e, o) => e ? [o, e] : [o]);
}
console.log(toPairs([2,3,4,5,6,4,3,5,5]));

Answer 2

You can use js reduce

initialArray.reduce(function(result, value, index, array) {
  if (index % 2 === 0)
    result.push(array.slice(index, index + 2));
  return result;
}, []);
