 | |
| 
 | |
| // examples

 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '10', {toRegex: true})); //=> [1-9]|10
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `from`: **{String|Number}** the number or letter to start with
 | |
| * `to`: **{String|Number}** the number or letter to end with
 | |
| * `step`: **{String|Number|Object|Function}** Optionally pass a [step](#optionsstep) to use.
 | |
| * `options`: **{Object|Function}**: See all available [options](#options)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| By default, an array of values is returned.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Alphabetical ranges**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'e')); //=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
 | |
| console.log(fill('A', 'E')); //=> [ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E' ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Numerical ranges**
 | |
| 
 | |
| Numbers can be defined as actual numbers or strings.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| console.log(fill(1, 5));     //=> [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '5')); //=> [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Negative ranges**
 | |
| 
 | |
| Numbers can be defined as actual numbers or strings.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| console.log(fill('-5', '-1')); //=> [ '-5', '-4', '-3', '-2', '-1' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('-5', '5')); //=> [ '-5', '-4', '-3', '-2', '-1', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5' ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Steps (increments)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // numerical ranges with increments
 | |
| console.log(fill('0', '25', 4)); //=> [ '0', '4', '8', '12', '16', '20', '24' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('0', '25', 5)); //=> [ '0', '5', '10', '15', '20', '25' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('0', '25', 6)); //=> [ '0', '6', '12', '18', '24' ]
 | |
| 
 | |
| // alphabetical ranges with increments
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 4)); //=> [ 'a', 'e', 'i', 'm', 'q', 'u', 'y' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 5)); //=> [ 'a', 'f', 'k', 'p', 'u', 'z' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 6)); //=> [ 'a', 'g', 'm', 's', 'y' ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Options
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### options.step
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Type**: `number` (formatted as a string or number)
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Default**: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Description**: The increment to use for the range. Can be used with letters or numbers.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example(s)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // numbers
 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '10', 2)); //=> [ '1', '3', '5', '7', '9' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '10', 3)); //=> [ '1', '4', '7', '10' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '10', 4)); //=> [ '1', '5', '9' ]
 | |
| 
 | |
| // letters
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 5)); //=> [ 'a', 'f', 'k', 'p', 'u', 'z' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 7)); //=> [ 'a', 'h', 'o', 'v' ]
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 9)); //=> [ 'a', 'j', 's' ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### options.strictRanges
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Type**: `boolean`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Default**: `false`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Description**: By default, `null` is returned when an invalid range is passed. Enable this option to throw a `RangeError` on invalid ranges.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example(s)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following are all invalid:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| fill('1.1', '2');   // decimals not supported in ranges
 | |
| fill('a', '2');     // incompatible range values
 | |
| fill(1, 10, 'foo'); // invalid "step" argument
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### options.stringify
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Type**: `boolean`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Default**: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Description**: Cast all returned values to strings. By default, integers are returned as numbers.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example(s)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| console.log(fill(1, 5));                    //=> [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
 | |
| console.log(fill(1, 5, {stringify: true})); //=> [ '1', '2', '3', '4', '5' ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### options.toRegex
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Type**: `boolean`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Default**: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Description**: Create a regex-compatible source string, instead of expanding values to an array.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example(s)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // alphabetical range
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'e', {toRegex: true})); //=> '[a-e]'
 | |
| // alphabetical with step
 | |
| console.log(fill('a', 'z', 3, {toRegex: true})); //=> 'a|d|g|j|m|p|s|v|y'
 | |
| // numerical range
 | |
| console.log(fill('1', '100', {toRegex: true})); //=> '[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|100'
 | |
| // numerical range with zero padding
 | |
| console.log(fill('000001', '100000', {toRegex: true}));
 | |
| //=> '0{5}[1-9]|0{4}[1-9][0-9]|0{3}[1-9][0-9]{2}|0{2}[1-9][0-9]{3}|0[1-9][0-9]{4}|100000'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### options.transform
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Type**: `function`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Default**: `undefined`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Description**: Customize each value in the returned array (or [string](#optionstoRegex)). _(you can also pass this function as the last argument to `fill()`)_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example(s)**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| // increase padding by two
 | |
| var arr = fill('01', '05', function(val, a, b, step, idx, arr, options) {
 | |
|   return repeat('0', (options.maxLength + 2) - val.length) + val;
 | |
| });
 | |
| 
 | |
| console.log(arr);
 | |
| //=> ['0001', '0002', '0003', '0004', '0005']
 | |
| ```
