Chance - Random generator helper for JavaScript
Homepage: http://chancejs.com
Many more details on http://chancejs.com but this single library can generate random numbers, characters, strings, names, addresses, dice, and pretty much anything else.
It includes the basic building blocks for all these items and is built on top of a Mersenne Twister so it can generate these things with repeatibility, if desired.
Chance instantiates itself onto the window. This means that in the simplest case you can just include the script tag then use an instance of Chance immediately.
<script src="chance.js"></script>
<script>
console.log(chance.string());
</script>
It can also be used with Bower
bower install chance
then in the HTML of your app:
<!-- Load Chance -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="components/chance/chance.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Use Chance immediately!
alert(chance.string());
</script>
Chance also includes an AMD define so it can be used with RequireJS.
require(['Chance'], function(Chance) {
// Instantiate
var chance = new Chance();
// Then just use it:
var my_random_integer = chance.integer();
});
And it can be used in Node.js.
var Chance = require('chance'),
chance = new Chance();
// Get a random zip code
chance.zip();
