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 // add zero padding console.log(fill(1, 5, value => String(value).padStart(4, '0'))); //=> ['0001', '0002', '0003', '0004', '0005'] ``` ## About
