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 🙏

rand-seed

A small seedable random number generator library written in TypeScript

The default Math.random() function doesn't allow for setting a seed. This library offers a number of different semi-random number generators which may be initialised with an arbitrary seed in string format, hence, making it possible to produce sequences of semi-random numbers that are always the same for a given seed. The implemented algorithms are detailed here (note that I am not the author of that post, I merely used it for the implementation of this library).

Installation

This package is available through npm:

npm install --save rand-seed

Usage

Either import directly

<script src="path-to-rand-seed/rand-seed.js"></script>

or import in your own scripts using

import Rand, { PRNG } from 'rand-seed';

Then simply create a new instance with an (optional) seed:

const rand = new Rand('1234');

rand.next(); // Generate a new random number

If no seed is specified the call to rand.next() will simply be forwarded to Math.random(). In case of a supplied seed, the sfc32 algorithm will be used by default. Currently, three different algorithms are provided: sfc32, mulberry32 and xoshiro128**. If you would like to use a different algorithm, create a new instance like so:

// Create a new random number generator using the xoshiro128** algorithm
const rand = new Rand('1234', PRNG.xoshiro128ss);

Example

A simple example is included. This may be run with node: node example/index.js
