Always return Array
```javascript
Jodit.modules.Helpers.asArray('test') // ['test']
Jodit.modules.Helpers.asArray(['test']) // ['test']
Jodit.modules.Helpers.asArray(1) // [1]
```

#### Type Parameters

| Type Parameter |
| ------ |
| `T` |

#### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| ------ | ------ |
| `a` | `T` \| `T`[] |

#### Returns

`T`[]

***

### splitArray()

Return an array from string or array
```javascript
Jodit.modules.Helpers.splitArray('1,2,3') // ['1', '2', '3']
Jodit.modules.Helpers.splitArray(['1', '2', '3']) // ['1', '2', '3']
```

#### Call Signature

**splitArray**(`a`): `string`[]

Defined in: [src/core/helpers/array/split-array.ts:11](https://github.com/xdan/jodit/blob/main/src/core/helpers/array/split-array.ts#L11)

##### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |

##### Type Parameters

| Type Parameter |
| ------ |
| `T` *extends* `any`[] |

##### Parameters

| Parameter | Type |

### toArray()

Always return Array. It's a safe polyfill for [Array.from](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/from) method
In certain scenarios (such as with Joomla Mootools), Array.from may be substituted with a less optimal implementation
```javascript
Jodit.modules.Helpers.toArray('123') // ['1', '2', '3']
Jodit.modules.Helpers.toArray(['test']) // ['test']
Jodit.modules.Helpers.toArray(1) // []
```

#### Call Signature

**toArray**\<`T`\>(`arrayLike`): `T`[]

##### Returns

`T`[]

#### Call Signature
