Overview

A generator is an agent that is used for generating cryptographically secure random values.

A Quick Example

To whet your appetite, here is some short example code that demonstrates the use of generator agents.

package main

import (
	fmt "fmt"
	fra "github.com/craterdog/go-component-framework/v7"
)

func main() {
	// Create a new random generator using the module level constructor shortcut.
	var generator = fra.Generator()

	// Generate a random boolean.
	fmt.Println("Boolean:", generator.RandomBoolean())

	// Generate a random ordinal.
	fmt.Println("Ordinal [1..100]:", generator.RandomOrdinal(100))

	// Generate a random probability.
	fmt.Println("Probability:", generator.RandomProbability())

	// Generate random bytes.
	fmt.Println("Bytes:", generator.RandomBytes(10))
}
