qrandom

Get true random numbers generated by measuring the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum in a lab at the Australian National University.

Installation

Global

npm i -g qrandom

Local

npm i qrandom

Usage

Cli

qrandom -t -l -s

• -t Sets the desired data type
  • uint8
  • uint16
  • hex16
• -l Defines the length of the response array (min 1, max 1024, default 10)
• -s To be used only when data type === hex16. Defines the block size for the hex values (min 1, max 1024, default 10)

API

const quantumRandom = require('qrandom');

// Parameters: data-type, array-length, block-size, callback
quantumRandom('hex16', 10, 10, (error, data) => {
    if (error) return console.error(error);
    
    console.log(data.toString());
}

// To get a Promise instead just don't pass a callback parameter
quantumRandom('hex16', 10, 10)
.then(data => {
    console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
});

// Or
await quantumRandom('hex16', 10, 10);
