clear an array javascript

Y’all overthink this stuff. Just re-‌assign it an empty array.

var array = [ 'lots', 'of', 'stuff'];
array = []; // nuthin'

Or if you’re bent on really emptying it—especially while doing something with the elements as you’re stripping them out—you could do something like this–

var array = [ 'one', 'two', 'three' ];
while ( array.length > 0 ) { array.shift(); }
