times (Lodash Compatibility)

Executes a function the given number of times and returns the results as an array.

const result = times(n, iteratee);

Usage

times(n, iteratee)

Executes the iteratee function the given number of times and returns the results as an array. The current index is passed to the function in each iteration.

import { times } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

// Array of indices from 0 to 2 multiplied by 2
times(3, i => i * 2);
// Returns: [0, 2, 4]

// Generate the same value multiple times
times(2, () => 'es-toolkit');
// Returns: ['es-toolkit', 'es-toolkit']

If no function is provided, it returns an array of indices.

import { times } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

times(3);
// Returns: [0, 1, 2]

Parameters

• n (number): The number of times to iterate. Converted to an integer. Returns an empty array if less than 1 or not a safe integer.
• iteratee ((num: number) => T, optional): The function to execute for each iteration. Receives the index as an argument. If not provided, returns the index as is.

Returns

(T[]): Returns an array of results from executing the function in each iteration.
