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 🙏

kld-random


Random number generation suitable for testing only. I mostly use this for prototyping and for unit tests. Don't build an encyption layer with this :)

Installation

npm install kld-random

Usage

Uniform Distribution

Generate a uniform distribution between [0, 1)

import {uniformGenerator} from "kld-random";

const random = uniformGenerator();

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(random());
}

Repeatable Uniform Distribution

Generate a uniform distribution that will create the same sequence of numbers each time a new generator is created. This is done by providing a seed value when creating the generator.

import {uniformGenerator} from "kld-random";

const mySeed = 1337;
const random = uniformGenerator(mySeed);

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(random());
}

Uniform Distribution Range

Generate a uniform distribution within a range of values. Note that you can provide an optional seed value as the last argument when creating the generator.

import {uniformGeneratorRange} from "kld-random";

const min = 10;
const max = 233;
const random = uniformGeneratorRange(min, max);

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(random());
}

Gaussian Distribution

Generate a gaussian distrubution. Note that you can provide an optional seed value as the last argument when creating the generator.

import {gaussianGenerator} from "kld-random";

const random = gaussianGenerator();

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(random());
}

Gaussian Distribution with Average and Variance

Generate a gaussian distrubution with a specified average and variance. Note that you can provide an optional seed value as the last argument when creating the generator.

import {gaussianGeneratorRange} from "kld-random";

const average = 133;
const variance = 13;
const random = gaussianGeneratorRange(average, variance);

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    console.log(random());
}
