## Usage
|
||

||
|
|
**Params**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|

range(start, stop, step, options, fn);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `start`: **{String|Number}** the number or letter to start with
|
||
|
|
* `end`: **{String|Number}** the number or letter to end with
|
||
|
|
* `step`: **{String|Number}** optionally pass the step to use. works for letters or numbers.
|
||
|
|
* `options`: **{Object}**:
|
||
|
|
- `makeRe`: return a regex-compatible string (still returned as an array for consistency)
|
||
|
|
- `step`: pass the step on the options as an alternative to passing it as an argument
|
||
|
|
- `silent`: `true` by default, set to false to throw errors for invalid ranges.
|
||
|
|
* `fn`: **{Function}** optionally [pass a function](#custom-function) to modify each character
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Examples**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range(1, 3)
|
||
|
|
//=> ['1', '2', '3']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('1', '3')
|
||
|
|
//=> ['1', '2', '3']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('0', '-5')
|
||
|
|
//=> [ '0', '-1', '-2', '-3', '-4', '-5' ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range(-9, 9, 3)
|
||
|
|
//=> [ '-9', '-6', '-3', '0', '3', '6', '9' ])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('-1', '-10', '-2')
|
||
|
|
//=> [ '-1', '-3', '-5', '-7', '-9' ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('1', '10', '2')
|
||
|
|
//=> [ '1', '3', '5', '7', '9' ]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'e')
|
||
|
|
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'e', 2)
|
||
|
|
//=> ['a', 'c', 'e']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('A', 'E', 2)
|
||
|
|
//=> ['A', 'C', 'E']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Invalid ranges
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an invalid range is passed, `null` is returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('1.1', '2');
|
||
|
|
//=> null
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('a', '2');
|
||
|
|
//=> null
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range(1, 10, 'foo');
|
||
|
|
//=> null
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want errors to be throw, pass `silent: false` on the options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Custom function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optionally pass a custom function as the third or fourth argument:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'e', function (val, isNumber, pad, i) {
|
||
|
|
if (!isNumber) {
|
||
|
|
return String.fromCharCode(val) + i;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
return val;
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
//=> ['a0', 'b1', 'c2', 'd3', 'e4']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Special characters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A special character may be passed as the third arg instead of a step increment. These characters can be pretty useful for brace expansion, creating file paths, test fixtures and similar use case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'z', SPECIAL_CHARACTER_HERE);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Supported characters**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `+`: repeat the given string `n` times
|
||
|
|
* `|`: create a regex-ready string, instead of an array
|
||
|
|
* `>`: join values to single array element
|
||
|
|
* `?`: randomize the given pattern using [randomatic]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### plus
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Character: _(`+`)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Repeat the first argument the number of times passed on the second argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Examples:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 3, '+');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['a', 'a', 'a']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('abc', 2, '+');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['abc', 'abc']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### pipe and tilde
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Characters: _(`|` and `~`)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Creates a regex-capable string (either a logical `or` or a character class) from the expanded arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Examples:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'c', '|');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['(a|b|c)'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'c', '~');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['[a-c]'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'z', '|5');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['(a|f|k|p|u|z)'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Automatic separator correction**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To avoid this error:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> `Range out of order in character class`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fill-range detects invalid sequences and uses the correct syntax. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**invalid** (regex)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you pass these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'z', '~5');
|
||
|
|
// which would result in this
|
||
|
|
//=> ['[a-f-k-p-u-z]']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('10', '20', '~');
|
||
|
|
// which would result in this
|
||
|
|
//=> ['[10-20]']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**valid** (regex)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fill-range corrects them to this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'z', '~5');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['(a|f|k|p|u|z)'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('10', '20', '~');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['(10-20)'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### angle bracket
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Character: _(`>`)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Joins all values in the returned array to a single value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Examples:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('a', 'e', '>');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['abcde']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('5', '8', '>');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['5678']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
range('2', '20', '2>');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['2468101214161820']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### question mark
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Character: _(`?`)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Uses [randomatic] to generate randomized alpha, numeric, or alpha-numeric patterns based on the provided arguments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Examples:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_(actual results would obviously be randomized)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate a 5-character, uppercase, alphabetical string:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('A', 5, '?');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['NSHAK']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate a 5-digit random number:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('0', 5, '?');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['36583']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate a 10-character alpha-numeric string:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
range('A0', 10, '?');
|
||
|
|
//=> ['5YJD60VQNN']
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
