Random

A lightweight utility library for generating pseudo-random values in JavaScript based of Math.random().

This package was originally created for personal use in my own projects, but it is published as an open tool that anyone can use. It focuses on simple, practical helpers for working with randomness, such as picking random values from arrays or objects.

Features

• Get a random value from an array / object
• Get a random name - first, last, full
• Get a random letter
• Get a random truthy/falsy value
• And more...
• Simple and minimal API
• Zero dependencies
• Designed for everyday use in JavaScript and Node.js projects

Installation

npm install @kottetall/random

Usage

Random names

import { Random } from "@kottetall/random";

console.log(Random.firstName()); // Jack
console.log(Random.firstName("female")); // Sofia
console.log(Random.lastName()); // White
console.log(Random.fullName()); // Jack Hassan

Random value from an array

import { Random } from "@kottetall/random";

const items = ["apple", "banana", "orange"];
const result = Random.fromArray(items);

console.log(result);

Random value from an object

import { Random } from "@kottetall/random";

const obj = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2,
  c: 3,
};

const result = Random.fromObject(obj);

console.log(result);

Why this package?

Sometimes you just need small, reusable helpers instead of rewriting the same logic in every project. This package aims to provide clean and simple functions for common random-related tasks.
