Chance - Random generator helper for JavaScript
Homepage: https://chancejs.com
Many more details on https://chancejs.com but this single library can generate random numbers, characters, strings, names, addresses, dice, and pretty much anything else.
It includes the basic building blocks for all these items and is built on top of a Mersenne Twister so it can generate these things with repeatability, if desired.
It can also be used with Bower
bower install chance
then in the HTML of your app:
<!-- Load Chance -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="components/chance/chance.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Use Chance immediately!
alert(chance.string());
</script>npm install chanceIt can also be used with spm.
spm install chance
Chance instantiates itself onto the window. This means that in the simplest case you can just include the script tag then use an instance of Chance immediately.
<script src="chance.js"></script>
<script>
console.log(chance.string());
</script>To use Chance from the command line, install it globally with:
npm install -g chanceThen invoke any generator by name, like so:
$ chance name --prefix
Dr. Georgia Sanchez
$ chance latitude --min=12.34 --max 56.78
22.01836And it can be used in Node.js.
var Chance = require('chance'),
chance = new Chance();
// Get a random zip code
chance.zip();Chance also includes an AMD define so it can be used with RequireJS.
require(['Chance'], function(Chance) {
// Instantiate
var chance = new Chance();
// Then just use it:
var my_random_integer = chance.integer();
});Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or suggestions.
