Package Exports

trpg-dice

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 (trpg-dice) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

trpg-dice

NpmLicense

Tabletop RPG dice-roller with a multiple dice-types, rolling methods, minimum and maximum values, string output, and error-first callbacks.

Installation

npm install trpg-dice

Usage

To use the library, import the module and call the roll() method with a dice expression, an optional options parameter, and a callback function. Dice expressions with standard <number of dice>d<number of sides> are all supported as well as simple math.

const dice = require('trpg-dice');

function callback (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  } else {
    console.log(result);
  }
}

dice.roll('2d6+10', callback);
dice.roll('d20+2', { roll: 10 }, callback); // will roll d20+2 for 10 times

The roll() method is an error-first callback that invokes the callback function with an error (or null if none) and an object with the original dice expression, minimum, maximum, average, and roll results.

{
  expression: '2d6+2',
  min: 4,
  max: 14,
  avg: 9,
  rolls: [
    { result: 12, resultString: '(5+5)+2', condensedResultString: '(10)+2' },
    { result: 8, resultString: '(1+5)+2', condensedResultString: '(6)+2' },
    { result: 11, resultString: '(3+6)+2', condensedResultString: '(9)+2' },
    { result: 5, resultString: '(2+1)+2', condensedResultString: '(3)+2' },
    { result: 8, resultString: '(5+1)+2', condensedResultString: '(6)+2' },
    { result: 13, resultString: '(6+5)+2', condensedResultString: '(11)+2' },
    { result: 9, resultString: '(5+2)+2', condensedResultString: '(7)+2' },
    { result: 9, resultString: '(4+3)+2', condensedResultString: '(7)+2' },
    { result: 8, resultString: '(4+2)+2', condensedResultString: '(6)+2' },
    { result: 8, resultString: '(4+2)+2', condensedResultString: '(6)+2' }
  ]
}

Options

The following options are currently supported:

roll - specifies the amount of times the dice expression should be rolled, increasing the number of roll results returned in the object
