Convert a string to an array without splitting it

Question

Is it somehow possible to convert a string to an array as easy as possible without any hacks? and without splitting the string at some point?

For example bringing this:

temp = 'Text';

to this:

temp = ['Text'];

It might be a simple question but I couldn't find any solution without splitting the string.

• Igor: temp = [temp]; ? It is not really clear what you are asking...
• user9024437: Weeell yeah that's the solution. Didn't thought about that, sorry.
• devlin carnate: Why not just create an array and add your string to it????
• evolutionxbox: Do you want the string split? [ "T", "e", "x", "t" ]?

Answer 1

const temp = 'text';
console.log(new Array(temp));
console.log([temp]);
console.log(temp.split());
console.log([].concat(temp));

There are a few options out there.

Answer 2

If you want an array with the string as a single value just create a new array with that string.

temp = [temp];
