⚄︎ 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.

The same exact call in a code block vs a script tag behaves differently. The values seem to arrive to the plugin okay, but then get funky at some point--no idea why.

If there was simply a difference between a string made with perchance (or explicitly perchance-ified), which has all the extras attached, and a string you just make in JavaScript, then none of this would be an issue.

Wait, this sounds like a separate bug report. The issue I'm talking about is (I thought) only relevant to Perchance nodes, not raw strings. Can you give an example where Perchance interferes with your tag where the text you're manipulating doesn't come from a Perchance node/property?

The example I linked you to in the original post uses pure JS to produce the problem, yes. 😅 https://perchance.org/8swe0svvsk#edit

The original issue was a script tag passing a JS-made string into a function. Versus a code block passing a JS-made string into a function. The same exact string, declared in JS. But the function call was from a script tag vs from a code block. That JS-made string would evaluate differently depending on whether a script was being processed at the time or a code block was being processed at the time. Something like that.

Oh, right, yes, when using evaluateText on said string, that makes sense - due to square blocks having the policy of always "saving escape-char-processing until right at the end" as mentioned above. And yeah I agree this inconsistency is very annoying!
