Question 1

How to get a random superhero name in a Node.js app?

Accepted Answer

Install the package via npm, import the randomSuperhero function, and call it to retrieve a name from the curated list, as shown in the README examples.

Question 2

Can I add custom superheroes to the superheroes list?

Accepted Answer

No, the maintainer has stated that no additional entries are accepted, so you'll need to manage your own dataset or fork the project for customization.

Question 3

Is superheroes better than faker.js for generating fake names?

Accepted Answer

Superheroes is specialized for superhero names only, offering a focused, curated list, while faker.js provides diverse fake data including names, addresses, and more for broader testing needs.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Import the package in your React file, use the array or random function to set state or props, and render the names, similar to integrating any JavaScript module.

Question 5

What's the license for the superheroes data?

Accepted Answer

Check the GitHub repository for specific licensing details, as it's open-source but may have terms affecting commercial use, especially since the data is static and unverified.

Question 6

Does superheroes include female or diverse superhero names?

Accepted Answer

The list includes a variety of names, but since it's static and curated without metadata, you'd need to inspect the JSON file directly to assess diversity or specific categories.
