Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ 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.

- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
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
andai-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.

Don't have the quotes, and it will retrieve a variable by the name
perchanceListA
. So then referencingx
will reference whatever valueperchanceListA
had.Where are you putting the code
let x...
?edit: oops. was cuz i had a wrong capitalization of a list lol. totally my fault and nothing to do with language syntax! :) thanks. very much works
what i had typed about the specifics before solving
you and vionet so smart but i think none of those work for this.
i have my style buttons that i want to be like, for the Bright style for example:
<button onclick="genimgs(this)">Bright</button>
a little more complicated but basically a bunch of buttons exactly like this, but with different stylenames, all pointing togenimgs(button)
genimgs(button)
is then, in it's simplified form, this: `function genimgs(buttonobject){
`
in genimgs, buttonobject.innerHTML does indeed equal "Bright". So I want it to pull a line from the Perchance list called Bright, like the Anime button should go to this function, be translated in to the string Anime, and pull a line from the Perchance list Anime. But see how I can't just type out the word Bright or Anime with no quotes like you and vioneT suggest. It is a string I am getting from a button. It could be tons of different strings. I then need to convert the string in to it's relevant Perchance List. I believe, in normal JS, if root.Bright were my list,
root[buttonobject.innerHTML]
would retrieve it since in normal JS they are equivalent. But not here and nor do I know the Perchancian way to do it.That should work just fine. But I think you need to use
$root
to access it. Because JS and everything all usewith(root) { ... }
. Which means if you use justroot
you're actually accessingroot.root
--which I'm guessing doesn't exist. And that's why you're not getting any value.But
$root
always goes back to the root of the perchance main list object. So that might work for you.If it still doesn't, you can give us the link to the generator and we can look at the code for you and figure out a solution.
Oooh, sorry I understand your comment now. Glad you got it working 👍
