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 🙏

Readme

js_mt_rand

A pseudo-random generator that can produce the same numbers as php's mt_rand do with given seed.

the javascript version of 32-bit php_mt_rand; ported from php-src/ext/standard/mt_rand.c

Install

via npm

$ npm install js_mt_rand

via yarn

$ yarn add js_mt_rand

Usage

import JSMTRand from 'js_mt_rand';

let mt = new JSMTRand();

// seed the generator
mt.srand(0);

// php 7.1+ Mersenne Twister implementation (default)
mt.srand(0, JSMTRand.MODE_MT_RAND_19937);

// get next random number, range: [0, 2 ^ 32 - 1)
// N.B. MODE_MT_RAND_19937 has a wider range than MODE_MT_RAND_PHP
let m = mt.rand(0, 0xFFFFFFFF);

// php 5.x backward compatibility.
mt.srand(0, JSMTRand.MODE_MT_RAND_PHP);

// get next random number, range: [0, 2 ^ 31 - 1]
let n = mt.rand();

// get next random number in range: [min, max], max is inclusive
let r = mt.rand(min, max);

Pitfall

Due to the PHP 7.1.0 to 7.2.0beta2 mt_rand() modulo bias bug, the JSMTRand.rand(min, max) may return different results between php 7.1.0 to 7.2.0beta2, just use JSMTRand.rand() instead and wrap your own range function.

Since the bip operators in javascript are not support 64 bits integer yet, the generator would only work with 32 bits range.
