initialize-object-array

Initialize a size N collection/array of objects

Installation

1.) yarn add @dydx/initialize-object-array

Usage

const initializeObjectArray = require('@dydx/initialize-object-array')
const faker = require('faker')

const createPost = () => ({
    id: faker.random.uuid(),
    title: faker.lorem.sentence(),
    content: faker.lorem.paragraph()
});

const posts = initializeObjectArray(5, createPost);

// and now `posts` contains an array of 5 `post` objects

Why?

This really isnt that useful, though I do find it nice for quickly getting a collection for seeding a database.

Todo

• I suppose it'd be nice to be able to use async/await in there somewhere
• Having to use a lambda sometimes is annoying
