Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.
fill-range
Advanced tools
Fill in a range of numbers or letters, optionally passing an increment or multiplier to use.
The fill-range npm package is used to generate an array of numbers or strings based on a given range with support for steps, negative ranges, and pattern expansion. It is often used for creating lists of numbers, expanding number and letter sequences, and generating arrays based on patterns.
Number Range Generation
Generates an array of numbers from 1 to 5.
[...fillRange(1, 5)]
Letter Range Generation
Generates an array of letters from 'a' to 'e'.
[...fillRange('a', 'e')]
Pattern Expansion
Expands a pattern '1..3' and applies a transformation function to each value, resulting in ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'].
[...fillRange('1..3', { transform: (val) => `item${val}` })]
Step Support
Generates an array of numbers from 1 to 10 with a step of 2, resulting in [1, 3, 5, 7, 9].
[...fillRange(1, 10, { step: 2 })]
Negative Range Support
Generates an array of numbers from -3 to 3.
[...fillRange(-3, 3)]
This package provides similar functionality to fill-range by generating an array of numbers within a specified range. It allows for custom steps and can handle both ascending and descending ranges. Compared to fill-range, it focuses specifically on number ranges and does not support pattern expansion or letter ranges.
Part of the Lodash utility library, lodash.range generates an array of numbers progressing from start up to, but not including, end. It supports steps and is a lightweight alternative for number range generation. However, it does not offer the pattern expansion or letter range capabilities that fill-range does.
Fill in a range of numbers or letters, optionally passing an increment or multiplier to use.
npm i fill-range --save
npm test
var range = require('fill-range');
Params
range(start, stop, increment);
start
: the number or letter to start withend
: the number or letter to end withstep
: optionally pass the increment to use. works for letters or numbersExamples
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']
Optionally pass a custom function as the third or fourth argument:
range('a', 'e', function (val, isNumeric, i) {
if (!isNumeric) {
return String.fromCharCode(val) + i;
}
return val;
});
//=> ['a0', 'b1', 'c2', 'd3', 'e4']
A special character may be passed as the third arg instead of a step increment. e.g:
range('a', 'z', SPECIAL_CHARACTER_HERE);
Depending on how fill-range is implemented, the These characters can be pretty useful when brace expansion and similar use case.
>
Collapses all values in the returned array to a single value.
Examples:
range('a', 'e', '>');
//=> ['abcde']
range('5', '8', '>');
//=> ['5678']
range('2', '20', '2>');
//=> ['2468101214161820']
?
Uses [randomatic] to generate randomized alpha, numeric, or alpha-numeric patterns based on the provided arguments.
Examples:
(all results are obviously examples, since the actual results will be randomized)
Generate a 5-character, uppercase, alphabetical string:
range('A', 5, '?');
//=> ['NSHAK']
Generate a 5-digit random number:
range('0', 5, '?');
//=> ['36583']
Generate a 10-character alpha-numeric string:
range('A0', 10, '?');
//=> ['5YJD60VQNN']
See the [randomatic] repo for all available options and or to create issues or feature requests related to randomization.
