random

The random library provides a few convenience functions to generate random content


word

Returns a random word using node random-words package. Note that random-words parameters are not supported in KRL. 

str = random:word()


uuid

Generates a UUID using node cuid package.

str = random:uuid()


integer

Returns a random integer between lower and upper (inclusive) using Lodash's random. The range bounds can be equal or in any order.

n = random:integer(upper = 2, lower = 0)
a = random:integer(5) //returns random integer where 0 <= a <= 5

Because upper is the first argument, you can call this function with a single argument to get a random integer between 0 and that number.


number

Returns a random number (float) between lower and upper (inclusive) using Lodash's random. The range bounds can be equal or in any order.

n = random:number(lower = 0, upper = 1)
