random javascript math number generator

Installation

npm i totally-random

Importing

const TotallyRandom = require("totally-random");
const random = new TotallyRandom();

All numbers are inclusive. If you use an API or another technique to get random numbers (i.e. RANDOM.org), you may supply your own function in the constructor. It must return a floating point number between 0 and 1, not including 1.

const random = new TotallyRandom(randomFunction);

Default = 1 | | unique (Optional) | Boolean | Determines whether output array contains duplicate elements or unique elements. Default = false |

random.array(["Paul", "Chani", "Gurney"]);
// Chani

random.array(["Paul", "Chani", "Gurney"], 5);
// ["Gurney", "Paul", "Gurney", "Chani", "Chani"]

random.between(100, 200, 3);
// [192, 125, 167]

Boolean

.boolean([count = 1])

Return a boolean or array or booleans

random.chance([
  ["Hoyt", 15],
  ["Kassad", 30],
  ["Silenus", 45],
  ["Weintraub", 10],
]);
// Silenus

random.chance(
  [
    ["Hoyt", 15],
    ["Kassad", 30],
