How to check if an object is an array?

Question

I\'m trying to write a function that either accepts a list of strings, or a single string. If it\'s a string, then I want to convert it to an array with just the one item so

Answer 1

If the only two kinds of values that could be passed to this function are a string or an array of strings, keep it simple and use a typeof check for the string possibility:

function someFunc(arg) {
    var arr = (typeof arg == "string") ? [arg] : arg;
}
