Randomization¶
JavaScript Randomization examples
Random number in a range¶
Generate a random number in a range. Source
- Example:
function getRandumNumber(min, max) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min); }
Random number with fixed length¶
Generate a random number with fixed length. Source
- Example:
function getRandumNumber(length) { const min = Math.pow(10, (length-1)); const max = Math.pow(10, (length)); return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min); }
Random string¶
Generate a random string. Source
- Example:
function getRandomString(length) { const allowedCharacters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'; const allowedCharacterLength = allowedCharacters.length; let result = ''; for ( let i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { result += allowedCharacters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * allowedCharacterLength)); } return result; }
Random UUID¶
Generate a random UUID. Source
- Example:
function getUUID() { return ([1e7]+-1e3+-4e3+-8e3+-1e11).replace(/[018]/g, c => (c ^ crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(1))[0] & 15 >> c / 4).toString(16) ); }
Random color¶
Generate a random color. Source
- Example:
function getRandomColor() { const availableCharacters = '0123456789ABCDEF'; const availableCharacterLength = availableCharacters.length; let color = '#'; for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) { color += availableCharacters[Math.floor(Math.random() * availableCharacterLength)]; } return color; }
Random date¶
Generate a random date. Source
- Example:
function getRandomDate() { const maxDate = Date.now(); const timestamp = Math.floor(Math.random() * maxDate); return new Date(timestamp); }
Random date in a range¶
Generate a random date in a range. Source
- Example:
function getRandomDate(startDate, endDate) { const minValue = startDate.getTime(); const maxValue = endDate.getTime(); const timestamp = Math.floor(Math.random() * (maxValue - minValue + 1) + minValue); return new Date(timestamp); }
