Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

โš„๏ธŽ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

.onFinishPromise disappared? (self.perchance)

Did someone (like literally just this minute) change how generation works, so there is no .onFinishPromise any more? I've fixed my code but that was sudden ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maybe for backwards compatibility there could be a property called that pointing to the same promise?

Ah I see, the returned object is the promise now, and can be used whether the input was a string or an object.

Sorry!! Yes, I just noticed this a couple of minutes ago and fixed it. It was due to a change ~10 minutes ago that now allows for writing let result = await textToImage(promptOptions); - i.e. it now returns the onFinishPromise, while staying backwards-compatible by overwriting the toString of the promise to return the normal iframe HTML. The problem was that I forgot to add onFinishPromise as a property on the returned Promise (i.e. referencing itself) to maintain backwards-compat.

Also, side note: I did this for the ai-image-plugin several weeks ago, so you can write also let result = await aiText(promptOptions) instead of let result = await aiText(promptOptions).onFinishPromise with that plugin too.

Maybe for backwards compatibility there could be a property called that pointing to the same promise?

If there's ever a backwards-incompatibility, it's ALWAYS a bug. I cannot stress this enough. I take backwards compatibility really seriously. If I'm ever the cause of your code breaking, that's my fault, not yours, and it should be reported as a bug.

Thanks for the report!
