Tool usage guide
The Chunk Array tool splits any JSON array into smaller chunks of a specified size using the reliable lodash _.chunk function. It supports arrays of numbers, strings, objects, or mixed types, with customizable chunk sizes from 1 to 100 elements.
Background
A developer has an array of 500 user IDs that need to be sent to an API with a rate limit of 100 requests per batch.
Problem
The array must be split into manageable chunks to comply with the API's batch size restriction.
How to use
Enter the array of user IDs, e.g., [1, 2, 3, ..., 500], and set the chunk size to 100.
Outcome
The array is split into 5 chunks of 100 IDs each, allowing sequential API calls without exceeding limits.
Background
An e-commerce site displays 200 products, but the frontend shows only 20 items per page for better user experience.
Problem
The product array needs to be divided into chunks to create separate pages for navigation.
How to use
Input the product array, such as [{"id": 1, "name": "Product A"}, ...], and specify a chunk size of 20.
Outcome
The array is chunked into 10 sub-arrays, each representing a page of 20 products for display.
You can input any valid JSON array, including numbers, strings, objects, or mixed types.
The default chunk size is 2 elements per chunk.
Yes, the tool preserves element types, so nested objects are handled correctly within chunks.
While there's no strict limit, very large arrays may depend on your browser or system memory for processing.
The output is a JSON array where each element is a sub-array (chunk) containing a portion of the original array.
