⚄︎ 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.

[Bug?] createPerchanceTree does not load imports (self.perchance)

It creates objects for the import, but when accessing it it throws the error Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getSelf') from line in the getter:

let moduleRoot = window.moduleSpace[moduleName].getSelf;

So it seems like it thinks it's there, but it hasn't actually loaded in at all.

Short-term, a more useful error message would be useful for creators. But ideally, it would actually load in the import when createPerchanceTree is called.

Yes, it works fine by the looks of it. 👍 I've integrated it into my createPerchanceTree version too.

I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, but it did work anyway, so I left it at that. I know I'm playing with fire doing stuff like this but it's either that or sitting on my hands doing nothing. I find it more interesting trying to do this stuff myself. And I always chat to you about it here anyway, to find out if there's a way I'm "supposed" to do it, or if there's just no official capability yet.

That's how I even found out about that importer. I just needed it extended to fit my needs.

I have also read through both of those, so I'm up to speed. There's just a lot of stuff the engine can do, just not through official means. And I like to dance on the edge 😜

I really love how you just dig in and solve the problems yourself - this is a very useful trait to have in life. So long as you let me know so I can create an "official" way I'm happy 😅 Thanks for pushing at the edges of the engine - it's very helpful! I'm going to switch https://perchance.org/dynamic-import-plugin to use the new recursive import code now.

Great, I've updated my createPerchanceTree with that now 👍

It's nice you're cool with it. I could imagine someone else just being annoyed--this is better I think 😁
