JS - Turning string into array objects without spaces and commas

Question

What is the best way to split a string into array objects? I would like the following string:

var str = "New York, California, Indiana"

to turn into the following array

var arr =  ["New York", "California", "Indiana"]

Please note: the string includes spaces and commas that I would like to disregard, but some spaces need to be retained (i.e. space between "New York"). What would be the best way to accomplish this?

str.split(', ')

You can use str.split with the split parameter as ', ' so it will split the strings with their space values:

var str = 'New York, California, Indiana';
var arr = str.split(', ');
alert(arr);

Should be possible with a String Split

var str = "New York, California, Indiana"
var arr= str.split(",");
