Write prompts

Compose your prompts in index.js.

There are a number of helpers:

h.item(list, count)

Pick random items from any list. Count defaults to 1.

prompts.push(`${h.item('style')}`)
// oil painting

prompts.push(`${h.item('style', 2)}`)
// artistic photograph, baroque painting

h.list(list)

Get an entire list to loop over

In this example a prompt will be made for every type of genre

h.list('genre').forEach((g) => {
  prompts.push(`a ${g} painting`)
  // a cyberpunk painting
})

Combine h.item and h.list:

h.list('genre').forEach((g) => {
  prompts.push(`a ${g} painting of a ${h.item('mammal')}`)
  // a cyberpunk painting of a tiger
  // a steampunk painting of a lion
  // ...
})

h.lists([list1, list2])

Get multiple lists to loop over

h.lists(['sea-creatures', 'mammals']).forEach((a) => {
  prompts.push(`a painting of a ${a}`)
  // a painting of a jellyfish
  // ...
})

h.shuffle(prompts)

Shuffle the list of prompts.

h.shuffle(prompts)

node sanitise-lists.js

This will:

• remove duplicates
• lowercase strings (in most cases)
• sort alphabetically
