let arr = [1, [1, 2], [{}, 3]]
  
// convert array into collection
const collection = collect(arr);
  
// collapsing the array into single array
const collapased = collection.collapse();
  
// returning the array with all() method.
let singleArray =   collapased.all();
  
console.log("Single array: ", singleArray);

// convert array into collection
const collection = collect(arr);
  
// collapsing the array into single array
