javascript - Split number into 4 random numbers

Question

I want to split 10 into an array of 4 random numbers, but neither can be 0 or higher than 4. For example [1,2,3,4], [1,4,4,1] or [4,2,3,1].

I think it's an easy question, but for some reason I can't think of how to do this. If someone has some instruction that would be very helpful!

Edit: This is the code I have now, but I generates also a total number under 10:

  let formation = [];
  let total = 0;

   for (let i = 0; i < 4; i ++) {
    if (total < 9) {
      formation[i] = Math.floor(Math.random() * 4) + 1; 
    } else {
      formation[i] = 1;
    }
  }

You could create all possible combinations and pick a random array.

function get4() {

    function iter(temp) {
        return function (v) {
            var t = temp.concat(v);
            if (t.length === 4) {
                if (t.reduce(add) === 10) {
                    result.push(t);
                }
                return;
            }
            values.forEach(iter(t));
        };
    }
    
    const
        add = (a, b) => a + b,
        values = [1, 2, 3, 4],
        result = [];

    values.forEach(iter([]));
    return result;
}

console.log(get4().map(a => a.join(' ')));
