Function that allow me to create random email for cypress test

I'm looking into a function that allows me to create random emails where I would like to add it to the Email input inside of my test. For this reason, I created this function. However, I'm not sure how to add it to my cypress test.

Function:

 it('Product |  build or Remodel', () => {
    
    
    function string(){

    }
chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890';
    string = '';
    email = '@aharotest.com';
    
    for(var ii=0; ii<15; ii++){
        string += chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];
    }
    
    console.log(string + email)
    
    cy.oneTime()
    cy.buildRemodel()
    cy.get('#full_name')
    .type('MOCKA DATA TEST')
    cy.get('#company')
    .type('Bluehost')
    cy.get('#phone_number')
    .type('2022569879')
    cy.get('#email')
    cy.get('#password')
    .type('Abcd1234')
    cy.logOut()
  })

My element is #email

What could be the best way to approach this situation.

I think most of the solutions here are needlessly complex.

This should be enough:

cy.get('#input_email').type(`${Date.now()}@aharotest.com`)

No need for any 'helper' function ${Date.now()} will output the current unix time (e.g. 1674214877166)

This will be different every time you run the test, so the email will always be unique.

The solution to this issue is to create a function that will create random text + adding a string that will complete the email.

My solution is:

 function makeid(length) {
        var result           = '';
        var characters       = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
        var charactersLength = characters.length;
        for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
           result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
        }
        return result;
     }
     
     console.log(makeid(5));

My cypress command will be the following:

Cypress.Commands.add("form", ()=> {
      // fill-out form

      function makeid(length) {
        var result           = '';
        var characters       = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
        var charactersLength = characters.length;
        for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) {
           result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
        }
        return result;
     }
     
     console.log(makeid(5));

    cy.get('#full_name')
      .type('MOCKDATA TESTING')
    cy.get('#company')
      .type('Testing')
    cy.get('#phone_number')
      .type('2022569878')
    cy.get('#email')
      .type(makeid(6) + "@aharo.com")
    cy.get('#password')
      .type('Abcd1234')

    // click submit
    cy.get(".app-submit-btn-text").click()
 })

The best way to call this command is cy.form.
