slice text in textbox after newline

Question

I have a textbox in reactjs. I want to slice its contents by new lines, outputting an array.

For example, if the textbox has

foo
bar
foobar

I want to get

['foo', 'bar', 'foobar']

Any ways I can do this?

means new line, I suggest trimming the text before splitting.

string.trim().split('
')

UPDATE

as @Wyck suggest, if you need to remove the empty space around each line, you need to map each item and trim it.

string.trim().split('
').map(s => s.trim())

for that, you just need to use 'split' function with ' ' which will help you separate the text.

We can use split() method here

let's consider an example
str = "x y";
console.log(str.split(" "));

the output is ["x", "y"]
