Pseudo random number generator

This is a wrapper hook for a pseudo random number generator. (it also can do pure random) based on Prando library

How to Use

  const [ randomValue, getNext ] = usePseudoRandom()
  // randomValue = some random number from 0 to 1 with no options

  getNext()
  // now randomValue is updated with the next number

Options

Option	required	type	description
seed	no	string or number	seed used to generate the numbers
WholeNumber	no	boolean	dictate if using a whole number or not
range	no	{ min: number, max: number }	Between a min (inclusive) and a max (exclusive) for non whole numbers, inclusive for whole numbers

Use Pseudo Random Number

This hook returns a tuple of the random number and a function to get the next number.

  const [ randomValue, getNext ] = usePseudoRandom()
  // randomValue = some random number from 0 to 1 with no options

  getNext()
  // now randomValue is updated with the next number

Options for the random number generator can be passed in as an object.

  const [ randomValue, getNext ] = usePseudoRandom({
    seed: 'some seed', // text or number can be a seed
    wholeNumber: true,
    range: { min: 0, max: 10 }
  })

under the hood this is using the Prando library.
