Enhancing Our Content Generation Process with Randomization

Streamlining Content Creation

We've recently enhanced our content generation process by introducing a 'random mode' to our manual post generator. This feature aims to accelerate content creation and reduce repetitive tasks. The primary goal is to automate the selection of post examples and prompts, thereby enabling faster and more varied content output.

Random Mode Implementation

The newly implemented random mode disables manual input fields for post examples and additional prompts. Instead, the system automatically selects these elements at generation time. This is particularly useful for quickly creating diverse content without requiring manual selection each time.

Here's a simplified example of how the random selection might be implemented in the content generation service:

class ContentGenerator {
  constructor(styleResolver) {
    this.styleResolver = styleResolver;
  }

  generatePost(useRandom) {
    let postExample = 'Default post example';
    let additionalPrompts = ['Default prompt'];

    if (useRandom) {
      postExample = this.styleResolver.getRandomPostExample();
      additionalPrompts = this.styleResolver.getRandomAdditionalPrompts();
    }

    return this.createPost(postExample, additionalPrompts);
  }

  createPost(example, prompts) {
        // Logic to create the post based on the example and prompts
        return { example: example, prompts: prompts };
  }
}

class RandomStyleResolver {
    getRandomPostExample() {
        const examples = ['Example 1', 'Example 2', 'Example 3'];
        return examples[Math.floor(Math.random() * examples.length)];
    }

    getRandomAdditionalPrompts() {
        const prompts = [['Prompt A'], ['Prompt B'], ['Prompt C']];
        return prompts[Math.floor(Math.random() * prompts.length)];
    }
}

// Usage
const styleResolver = new RandomStyleResolver();
const generator = new ContentGenerator(styleResolver);
const newPost = generator.generatePost(true); // Enable random mode
console.log(newPost);

Code Reusability: RandomStyleResolver

To maintain code quality and prevent duplication, we extracted a shared RandomStyleResolver service. This service centralizes the logic for picking random styles, examples, and prompts. By doing so, we ensure consistency across different content generation jobs, such as GeneratePostJob and AutoSyncPostGenerationJob. This shared service promotes a DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, making the codebase more maintainable and scalable.

// Example of reusing the RandomStyleResolver

class GeneratePostJob {
  constructor(styleResolver) {
    this.styleResolver = styleResolver;
  }

  run() {
    const randomExample = this.styleResolver.getRandomPostExample();
    // Job-specific logic here
  }
}

class AutoSyncPostGenerationJob {
  constructor(styleResolver) {
    this.styleResolver = styleResolver;
  }

  run() {
    const randomPrompts = this.styleResolver.getRandomAdditionalPrompts();
    // Job-specific logic here
  }
}

Key Benefits

• Increased Efficiency: Reduces the time required to generate diverse content.
• Improved Consistency: Centralizes random selection logic, ensuring uniformity across content generation processes.
• Enhanced Maintainability: Promotes code reuse and reduces redundancy.

By implementing random mode and extracting the RandomStyleResolver service, we've made significant strides in optimizing our content creation workflow. This results in faster content generation, improved code maintainability, and greater consistency in our outputs.
