Turn anything into an array
$ npm install --save array-ify
var arrayify = require('array-ify');
arrayify('unicorn');
//=> ['unicorn']
arrayify(['unicorn']);
//=> ['unicorn']
arrayify(null);
//=> [null]
arrayify(undefined);
//=> [undefined]
The difference that is this module does NOT turn null or undefined to an empty array.

The arrify package is similar to array-ify in that it converts a value to an array. If the value is already an array, it returns it unchanged. If the value is null or undefined, it returns an empty array. It is a lightweight and straightforward alternative to array-ify.
The to-array package converts an array-like object or a single value to an array. It is more versatile in handling array-like objects such as NodeList or arguments objects, making it a good alternative to array-ify for more complex use cases.
The ensure-array package ensures that the input is always returned as an array. It is similar to array-ify but also provides additional options for handling different types of inputs, making it a more flexible alternative.
