decked

Generate a list of playing cards based on a configurable pack

installation

node:

$ npm install decked

component:

$ component install binocarlos/decked

usage

Each card in a deck is represented by an object:

{
	suit:'diamond',
	number:11,
	name:'jack'
}

The number of a jack is 11, queen is 12, king is 13 and ace is 14 or 1 depending on the 'ace' config option (high or low)

The suit property is one of:

• heart
• diamond
• club
• spade
• joker

An ordered array of cards is returned.

var decked = require('decked')

var deck = decked({

	// is ace 1 or 14
	ace:'high',

	// will the deck have 2 jokers inside (card number 0)
	jokers:2

})

var cards = deck()

console.log(cards.length)

// 54 (because we included the jokers)

You can pass a filter into the cards function to create a deck with only certain cards in:

// a filter that will remove diamonds
var noDiamonds = deck(function(card){
	return card.suit != 'diamond'
})

// a filter that only returns face cards
var faceCards = deck(function(card){
	return card.number >= 11
})

api

var deck = decked(config)

create a new deck of cards with the given config options:

• ace ('low' | 'high') - sets the numeric value of the ace to 1 or 14
• jokers (true | false) - should the deck contain 2 jokers or not

var deck = decked.sequence(config)
