The fastest way to convert array like object into js array

In this fast programming era every developer face this issue including me. So I am finding best and fastest way to convert array like object into js array.

1. What is the problem?

Suppose you have a list of divs on your page and you query them via document.querySelectorAll.

let rows = document.querySelectorAll('img')
NodeList(11) 

However, rows is not an array that you can manipulate with all of the handy array methods, like map(), filter()etc.

That is because

NodeList object is a list (collection) of nodes extracted from a document.

So after this the question is “What can We do?”

2. What can I do?

The easiest, fastest way to convert it into an array is just using the es6 spread operator.

let rows = document.querySelectorAll('img');
rows = [...rows]

Now, you can start applying all of the array methods to this rows

3. Other ways to solve the problem here

1. use es6 spread operator […arrayLikeObject]
2. usees6 Array.from(arrayLikeObject)
3. [].slice.call(arrayLikeObject)
4. use the good old for loop, code snippet is below, feel free to copy it, LOL

let trueArray = []
for(let i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
   trueArray.push(rows[i])
}

If you know any other ways, feel free to leave a comment below!
