random_member_assigner v1.0.1

Random Member Assigner

Given an array, this tool will randomly assign one member in the array to another, ensuring that the same member never gets itself. Originally built for a secret santa operation!

Usage

import { assignMembers } from 'random_member_assigner';

const members = [
	{
		id: '1',
		name: 'Member 1',
		email: 'member1@fake.fake'
	},
	{
		id: '2',
		name: 'Member 2',
		email: 'member2@fake.fake'
	},
	{
		id: '3',
		name: 'Member 3',
		email: 'member3@fake.fake'
	},
	{
		id: '4',
		name: 'Member 4',
		email: 'member4@fake.fake'
	}
];

// "members" represents the member array, "name" represents the key to use in the output array.
const output = assignMembers(members, 'name');

console.log(output);
/*
[ { name: 'Member 1', got: 'Member 2' },
  { name: 'Member 2', got: 'Member 3' },
  { name: 'Member 3', got: 'Member 4' },
  { name: 'Member 4', got: 'Member 1' } ]
