random.org
A https://random.org client library. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs.
Status
Everything is implemented. Note, that the random.org
service API is at beta stage of development, however the library will try to be up-to-date.
The documentation
The documentation which may help you using this library.
Implementation
- Immutable interface, no need to synchronize, thread-safe (
Sync
andSend
). - No unsafe blocks.
reqwest
crate is used for performing requests.chrono
for dates.serde
for serialization and deserialization.
Features
rand
feature which provides therand_core::RngCore
trait implementation for theRandom
struct and adds newFallibleRandom<T: rand_core::RngCore>
structure for better random generation UX.
Usage
Start by creating Random
instance and perform needed operations after.
extern crate randomorg;
fn main() {
use randomorg::Random;
let r = Random::new("API KEY HERE");
// A method-call way:
println!("Result: {:?}", r.generate_integers(-100, 100, 15, true));
// A lazy request builder way:
let random_data = r.request_integers().min(0).max(100).limit(5).collect::<Vec<i32>>();
println!("Random integers: {:?}", random_data);
}
With the rand
feature you can also use it that way:
extern crate randomorg;
fn main() {
use rand_core::RngCore;
use randomorg::Random;
let mut random = Random::new("API KEY HERE");
let mut key = [0u8; 16];
random.fill_bytes(&mut key);
let random_u64 = random.next_u64();
}
