expand-range

Fast, bash-like range expansion. Expand a range of numbers or letters, uppercase or lowercase. See the benchmarks. Used by micromatch.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install expand-range --save

Wraps [fill-range] to do range expansion using .. separated strings. See [fill-range] for the full list of options and features.

Example usage

var expand = require('expand-range');

Params

expand(start, stop, increment);

start: the number or letter to start with
end: the number or letter to end with
increment: optionally pass the increment to use. works for letters or numbers

Examples

expand('a..e')
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

expand('a..e..2')
//=> ['a', 'c', 'e']

expand('A..E..2')
//=> ['A', 'C', 'E']

expand('1..3')
//=> ['1', '2', '3']

expand('0..-5')
//=> [ '0', '-1', '-2', '-3', '-4', '-5' ]

expand('-9..9..3')
//=> [ '-9', '-6', '-3', '0', '3', '6', '9' ])

expand('-1..-10..-2')
//=> [ '-1', '-3', '-5', '-7', '-9' ]

expand('1..10..2')
//=> [ '1', '3', '5', '7', '9' ]

Custom function

Optionally pass a custom function as the second argument:

expand('a..e', function (val, isNumber, pad, i) {
  if (!isNumber) {
    return String.fromCharCode(val) + i;
  }
  return val;
});
//=> ['a0', 'b1', 'c2', 'd3', 'e4']
