Definition

Built-in JavaScript functions on arrays — map, filter, reduce, find — for transforming and querying data.

دوال JavaScript المدمجة على المصفوفات — map، filter، reduce، find — لتحويل البيانات والاستعلام عنها.

Why It Matters

React rendering is almost entirely based on .map() — every list of projects, prompts, rules, and glossary terms on 404Fault is rendered with .map().

يعتمد تصيير React بشكل شبه كامل على .map() — كل قائمة من المشاريع والبرومبتات والقواعد والمصطلحات في 404Fault تُصيَّر بـ.map().

Full Definition

JavaScript arrays have powerful built-in methods: .map() transforms each item and returns a new array; .filter() returns items passing a test; .reduce() accumulates to a single value; .find() returns the first matching item; .some() / .every() test conditions; .flat() flattens nested arrays. These are the backbone of React list rendering and data transformation in 404Fault.
مصفوفات JavaScript لها أساليب مدمجة قوية: .map() تحوّل كل عنصر وتُعيد مصفوفة جديدة؛ .filter() تُعيد العناصر التي تجتاز الاختبار؛ .reduce() تراكم إلى قيمة واحدة؛ .find() تُعيد أول عنصر مطابق.

Example Usage

“const published = projects.filter(p => p.status === 'published'); const titles = published.map(p => p.title);”

“const published = projects.filter(p => p.status === 'published'); const titles = published.map(p => p.title);”

Avoid these mistakes when using Array Methods:

1

Using .forEach() when you need the returned array — use .map() instead

2

Mutating the original array with .sort() — it sorts in place, clone first with [...arr].sort()
