new feature for small inline arrays

[peterprib]

To avoid have to do overhead of having to do own helpers could I suggest new keyword of array e.g. {{array ["M","F"]}}

Better still add driving probability of selection

{{array ["cat","dog","mouse"] [0.4, 0.4, 0.2]}}

where second array is driving probability of selection. Makes it a lot easier to handle different types of classifications normally associated with data.

This is really nice idea but after some quick experimentation it seems you can't pass arrays to handlebars helpers. You could pass a string and then json.parse it, but depending on how you write your template you might need to escape some quotes, which looks a bit ugly:

'{{array \'["cat","dog","mouse"]\'}}'

Alternatively you could pass each array element as an argument, but that would make implementing the probability array harder:

{{array "cat" "dog" "mouse"}}

Neither seem ideal to me but I'll leave this issue open for now in case I come up with a better idea.

Had not realised the fact it was based on https://github.com/webroo/dummy-json how about this as a suggestion

{{list 'aaaa,"bbb, bb",cccc'}}

with helper of form

Handlebars.registerHelper('list', function (aString) { const s=aString.split(/(?:,|\n|^)("(?:(?:"")[^"])"|[^",\n]|(?:\n|$))/) const c=s[3] return c.startsWith('"')?c.substring(1,c.length-1):c

})

At least does a list.

In the end I decided to go with a simple approach that just used helper arguments:

{{random 'cat' 'dog' 'mouse'}}

This helper is available as of v3.0.0 and more examples can be found in the readme: https://github.com/webroo/dummy-json#random-item
