repeat-element

What is repeat-element?

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.

What are repeat-element's main functionalities?

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']

Other packages similar to repeat-element

lodash.repeat

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

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

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.
