title: Shorthand for creating an array of string values in javascript
body: <p>Is there a quick way to create a literal array filled with strings in javascript?</p>
  
  <p>I am coming from Ruby, where using %w{} allows for you to omit quotation marks and commas around the values of the array. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>array = %w{a b c}
  =&gt; ["a", "b", "c"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is equivalent to the standard syntax for literal assignment:</p>
  
  <pre><code>array = ["a", "b", "c"]
  =&gt; ["a", "b", "c"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anything similar to this in javascript?</p>
