Dices

A simple and customizable npm package for rolling dice. With this package, you can roll standard six-sided dice, dice with a custom range of sides, and even multiple dice at once.

Features

• Roll a standard six-sided die: Simulates the roll of a classic die with 6 faces.
• Roll a custom-sided die: Specify the number of sides for the die (e.g., 4, 8, 10, 20).
• Roll multiple dice: Roll several dice at once and get the results in one call.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install dices

Usage

Import the package into your project:

const dices = require("dices");

Roll a standard six-sided die

const result = dices.extract();
console.log(`You rolled a: ${result}`);

Roll a die with a custom number of sides

const result = dices.extractByRange(10); // Roll a 10-sided die
console.log(`You rolled a: ${result}`);

Roll multiple dice

const results = dices.extractMany(3, 6); // Roll 3 six-sided dice
console.log(`You rolled: ${results.join(", ")}`);

const defaultResults = dices.extractMany(5); // Roll 5 six-sided dice by default
console.log(`You rolled: ${defaultResults.join(", ")}`);
