Random Array Element without Repetition
Selecting a random element from an array is simple with Math.random(). However, if you need to ensure that each element is only selected once until all elements have been chosen, @smakss/random-array-element is the ideal solution. Utilizing closures, this package allows you to initialize a function once and then repeatedly obtain unique, randomly-selected elements from your array, without repeats until the array is exhausted.
Demo
You can check the working demo on RunKit.
or
Installation
Install the package using npm or Yarn:
1npm i @smakss/random-array-element 2# or 3yarn add @smakss/random-array-element
Usage
To include it with CommonJS module you can do this:
1const randomArrayElement = require('@smakss/random-array-element');
For ECMAScript modules:
1import randomArrayElement from '@smakss/random-array-element';
Example usage:
1// Initialize once for an array
2const getRandomElement = randomArrayElement(['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']);
3
4console.log(getRandomElement()); // Result: 'banana' (example output)
5console.log(getRandomElement()); // Result: 'apple' (example output)
6// ...after all items have been returned, it resets.
7console.log(getRandomElement()); // Result: 'cherry' (example output)
8// ...continues to return a new random item.If an empty or non-array input is passed, the function will return -1, indicating no selection can be made:
1const getRandomElement = randomArrayElement([]); 2console.log(getRandomElement()); // Result: -1
