Node package for random.org API
This package presumes your API key is stored in an environment variable called RANDOM_API_KEY. It will use dotenv to load
the api key from a file.
The available functions are:
generateIntegers(n, min, max, [replacement, base,] callback)generateDecimalFractions(n, decimalPlaces, [replacement,] callback)generateGaussians(n, mean, standardDeviation, significantDigits, callback)generateStrings(n, length, characters, [replacement,] callback)generateUUIDs(n, callback)generateBlobs(n, size, [format,] callback)getUsage(callback)
Respecting the advisoryDelay in the response needs to be handled by the callback.
Note that I've really only used generateIntegers so far. Tests and such are in progress.
function(n, callback){
function callRandomOrgApi(){
randomorg.generateIntegers(n, 1, 10, RandomOrgCallback);
};
function RandomOrgCallback(err, body){
if(!_.isNull(err)){
// something went wrong, call the fallback
fallback();
} else {
setTimeout(semaphore.leave, body.advisoryDelay);
callback(body.random.data);
}
};
function fallback(){
roll = _.map(random.dice(10, n), function(k){return k-1;});
callback(roll);
}
semaphore.take(callRandomOrgApi, fallback);
}
