Math.random() for the rest of us.
Serendipity is a javascript library that generates custom random numbers.
Note that this currently just uses Math.random() for psuedo-random generation. If you need closer to true random, there are plenty of libraries made by people who know their stuff far better. 😉 This was created because I was sick of creating the same random function over and over again.
- Install by running
npm install --save-dev @cspruit/serendipityin the same directory as the package.json file lives.
- Generates a random number based off of Math.random
- max : number - optional - Max range, exclusive.
- min : number - optional - Min range, inclusive
- useFractions - optional - Unless this is true, will return an integer
import {random} from '@cspruit/serendipity';
const randNormal = random(); // Returns 0-1, like Math.random()
const randMax = random(5); // Returns 0-4
const randMin = random(5, 1); // Returns 1-4
const randFloat = random(5, 1, true); // Returns a float from 1-4All contributions, suggestions, and issues are welcome!
