Script Preparation code:

function generateTestArray() {
  const result = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
    result.push({
      a: [i, i * 2, i * 3]
    });
  }
  return result;
}

Tests:

reduce + spread
const arr = generateTestArray(); const result = arr.reduce((acc, el) => { acc.push(...el.a); return acc; }, []);
map + flat
const arr = generateTestArray(); const result = arr.map(el => el.a).flat();
