If value is not a plain array, such code will work fine:
var value = { "aaa": "111", "bbb": "222", "ccc": "333" };
var blkstr = [];
$.each(value, function(idx2,val2) {
var str = idx2 + ":" + val2;
blkstr.push(str);
});
console.log(blkstr.join(", "));<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>(output will appear in the dev console)
As Felix mentioned, each() is just iterating the array, nothing more.
In JavaScript, you can convert an array to a string with commas using the join()
method.
The join() method returns a string that concatenates all the elements of an array, separated by the specified separator, which in this case is a comma.
Here is an example:
const array = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'];
const string = array.join(', ');
console.log(string);
// output: "apple, banana, orange"
In this example, we first define an array of three fruits. Then we use the join()
method with a comma and a space as the separator to create a string that lists all the fruits with a comma and a space between each one.
You can replace the comma and space separator with any other separator you like, such as a hyphen, a semicolon, or a newline character.
It's important to note that the join() method only works on arrays, and it will throw an error if you try to use it on any other type of object.

Converting From Array to String is So Easy !
var A = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday']
array = A + ""
That's it Now A is a string. :)
I have tried join and concatenate but they seem to have different results.
You're using an Array like an "associative array", which does not exist in JavaScript. Use an Object ({}) instead.
If you are going to continue with an array, realize that toString() will join all the numbered properties together separated by a comma. (the same as .join(",")).
Properties like a and b will not come up using this method because they are not in the numeric indexes. (ie. the "body" of the array)
In JavaScript, Array inherits from Object, so you can add and delete properties on it like any other object. So for an array, the numbered properties (they're technically just strings under the hood) are what counts in methods like .toString(), .join(), etc. Your other properties are still there and very much accessible. :)
Read Mozilla's documentation for more information about Arrays.
var aa = [];
// these are now properties of the object, but not part of the "array body"
aa.a = "A";
aa.b = "B";
// these are part of the array's body/contents
aa[0] = "foo";
aa[1] = "bar";
aa.toString(); // most browsers will say "foo,bar" -- the same as .join(",")
toString is a method, so you should add parenthesis () to make the function call.
> a = [1,2,3]
[ 1, 2, 3 ]
> a.toString()
'1,2,3'
Besides, if you want to use strings as keys, then you should consider using a Object instead of Array, and use JSON.stringify to return a string.
> var aa = {}
> aa['a'] = 'aaa'
> JSON.stringify(aa)
'{"a":"aaa","b":"bbb"}'
