array.from is a performant and lightweight npm package enabling the creation of new Array instances from array-like or iterable objects. It polyfills the Array.from method for older JavaScript environments lacking native support. This package ensures broader compatibility and simplifies tasks like converting NodeLists, arguments objects, and other iterable structures into standard arrays for easier manipulation using array methods. It's a small yet essential tool for cross-browser development.
The array.from npm package saw initial releases in 2013-2016, with version 1.0.0 in January 2016. Releases became infrequent afterward, with sporadic updates in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The latest versions, 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 were released in August 2023, and March 2024, respectively. Since then there haven't been any releases.
Array.from's npm downloads show fluctuations, peaking in November 2024. From March 2024 to August 2025, downloads generally range between 16,000 and 20,000, with notable increases in November and December 2024. August 2025 data is potentially incomplete.
