Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

RNG

Random Number Generator with Seed compatability

Install

NPM Package

To install using NPM:

npm install docs-rng

UMD

Coming soon...

Usage

const RNG = require("docs-rng");

let generator = new RNG("seed");
// If no seed is provided, it will neverate one based on Date.now()

console.log(generator.nextInt) // 1498576002
console.log(generator.nextInt) // 1176987392

console.log(generator.nextFloat) // 0.9206224684233882
console.log(generator.nextFloat) // 0.3216706515856416

console.log(generator.nextSafeInt) // -3944918460362496
console.log(generator.choice(1, "two", "3", true, {hello: "world"})) // "3"
console.log(generator.nextRange(1, 10)) // 7

Possible seeds

A seed can be in the form of a number or a string.

let generator1 = new RNG(1234),
    generator2 = new RNG("1234");

In the example above, both seeds are identical. However...

let generator1 = new RNG(0x1234),
    generator2 = new RNG("0x1234");

In this example, the seeds are different.

By default, if the parameter is neither a number nor a string, the constructor will provide a seed based on Date.now().

When inputting a rational number, the decimal part will be ignored. So...

let generator1 = new RNG(123),
    generator2 = new RNG(123.456);

...are identical.
