Store an array of select in a js variable

Question

I need to go through several select and store your value in an array with jQuery, but I can’t. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I’m not sure what you want, but see if you can help:

var array = new Array();
$('select').each(function(index, el) {
  array.push($(el).val());
});
console.log(array);

If you want to take only the selected options:

var array = new Array();
$('select option:selected').each(function(index, el) {
  array.push($(el).val());
});
console.log(array);

Answer 2

You can create a collection with $('select') and then use .map() to generate an array, and .get() to convert from a jQuery collection to a native array.

An example would be like this:

var values = $('select').get().map(function(select){
    return select.value;
});
