I have an array which can contain null and array of objects I have to display it in a react table . if null cell will not show anything if not, then cell will show array of value from the object . Need to know how can I read such array ? My table column will look like Genre(s) column in blow image. Thanks!

array = [null, null, 
 [
  {id:"1", value:"abc"},
  {id:"2", value:"def"}
 ],
 [
  {id:"1", value:"efg"}, 
  {id:"2", value:"jkl"}
 ], 
  null, 
 [
  {id:"1", value:"an"},
  {id:"2", value:"jef"}
 ]
]

result should be 
 myarray = [null,null,[abc,def],[efg,jkl],null,[an,jef]]

enter image description here

You can run an Array.map to produce the result.

const myarray = [
  null,
  null,
  [
    { id: "1", value: "abc" },
    { id: "2", value: "def" },
  ],
  [
    { id: "1", value: "efg" },
    { id: "2", value: "jkl" },
  ],
  null,
  [
    { id: "1", value: "an" },
    { id: "2", value: "jef" },
  ],
];
const output = myarray.map((node) =>
  node ? node.map((item) => item.value) : node
);
console.log(output);

With typescript, you can do it like this:

[{name: 'hello'}, null].map(item => item?.name === undefined ? null : item.name)

It returns ['hello', null].
