counter

A generator which generates a number that increments each time it is called.

Arguments

• step (optional): The amount to increment the counter by each time it is called. Defaults to 1. Can be negative.
• start (optional): The number to start the counter at. Defaults to 0.
• pathSpecific (optional): Whether to use a counter specific to the path of the element generated. Defaults to false. If set to true, the counter will be incremented each time the generator is called with the same path.

Example

Create an array containing the current index

{
  "type": "array",
  "length": {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 10
  },
  "items": {
    "type": "counter",
    "start": 0
  }
}

Create an array containing the current index, using a counter specific to the path

{
  "type": "array",
  "length": {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 10
  },
  "items": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "index": {
        "type": "counter",
        "start": 0,
        "pathSpecific": true
      },
      "indexTimesTwo": {
        "type": "counter",
        "start": 0,
        "step": 2,
        "pathSpecific": true
      }
    }
  }
}
