Other packages similar to array-flatten

lodash.flatten

Lodash provides a method called flatten that can flatten arrays up to one level deep. It is part of the larger lodash utility library, which offers a wide range of functions for manipulating and working with data. Unlike array-flatten, lodash.flatten does not handle deep flattening by default, but lodash.flattenDeep can be used for deeper flattening.

flat

The 'flat' package offers similar functionality to array-flatten, with additional options to specify the depth of flattening. It can also remove empty slots in arrays with the 'cleanup' option. This package provides more configurability compared to array-flatten.
