repeat-element
Advanced tools
The repeat-element npm package is a simple utility that allows you to create an array of repeated values. It is useful when you need to generate a list with the same value multiple times without manually writing out each element.
Repeat a single value
This feature allows you to repeat a single value a specified number of times to create an array. The first argument is the value to repeat, and the second argument is the number of times to repeat it.
var repeat = require('repeat-element');
var repeatedArray = repeat('a', 5);
// repeatedArray is ['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a']Lodash provides a `repeat` function that creates a string by repeating the given string n times. It is different from repeat-element as it works on strings and not on array elements.
repeat-string is similar to lodash.repeat but is a standalone package that repeats strings. It does not create arrays of repeated elements like repeat-element.
fill-range generates an array of numbers or letters, optionally passing an increment or step to use, which can be used to create sequences. It is more complex and feature-rich compared to repeat-element, which only repeats a single value.
Create an array by repeating the given value n times.

const repeat = require('repeat-element');
repeat('a', 5);

repeat('a', 1);
//=> ['a']
repeat('a', 0);
//=> []
repeat(null, 5)
//» [ null, null, null, null, null ]
repeat({some: 'object'}, 5)
//» [ { some: 'object' },
// { some: 'object' },
// { some: 'object' },
// { some: 'object' },
// { some: 'object' } ]
repeat(5, 5)
//» [ 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 ]
