javascript - Split array into chunks

Question

Let's say that I have an Javascript array looking as following:

["Element 1","Element 2","Element 3",...]; // with close to a hundred elements.

What approach would be appropriate to chunk (split) the array into many smaller arrays with, lets say, 10 elements at its most?

Answer 1

The array.slice method can extract a slice from the beginning, middle, or end of an array for whatever purposes you require, without changing the original array.

var i,j, temporary, chunk = 10;
for (i = 0,j = array.length; i < j; i += chunk) {
    temporary = array.slice(i, i + chunk);
    // do whatever
}
