Package Exports

random

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (random) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

random

Random is a simple RANDOM.ORG client for node. It asynchronously retrieves true random numbers for use in your programs, formatted in rows and columns.

random = require("random");
function randomCallback(integers){
// Prints row 0, column 0
    console.log(integers[0][0]);
}
random.integers(randomCallback);

Options

You can also specify options. By default, we request insecurely, and return one new base-10 integer from 0 to 10,000 in a one-column "table".

random = require("random");
options = {
    secure: true, // Make the request secure
    num: 10,      // Get 10 integers
    min: -10,     // Minimum of -10
    max: 10,      // Maximum of 10
    col: 2,       // 2 columns
    base: 10,     // Base-10 (Supported: 2, 8, 10, 16)
    rnd: "id.123" // Which set of random numbers to use
}
function randomCallback(integers){
    // Prints row 1, column 5
    console.log(integers[1][5]);
}
random.integers(randomCallback,options);

rnd value

The rnd value in the options hash is a bit complicated. You have three options with it:

"new": generate a new set of true random numbers, then discard them afterwards.
"id.YOUR_ID_GOES_HERE": If the ID given has been used before, use those numbers. Otherwise, generate a new set.
"date.YOUR_DATE_GOES_HERE": Use a pregenerated set of numbers from a certain date. The date must be in ISO 8601 format (i.e., YYYY-MM-DD) or one of the two shorthand strings today or yesterday.
