TypeScript - convert string to character array

In this article, we would like to show you how to convert string to characters array in TypeScript.

Quick solution:

const text: string = 'ABCD';
const array: string[] = text.split('');

Practical examples

Using String split() method

const text: string = 'ABCD';
const array: string[] = text.split('');

console.log(array);

Output:

[ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' ]

Using Array.from() method

const text: string = 'ABCD';
const array: string[] = Array.from(text);

console.log(array);

Output:

[ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' ]

Using Object.assign()

const text: string = 'ABCD';
const array: string[] = Object.assign([], text);

console.log(array);

Output:

[ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' ]
