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.
You should use the dev tools in your browser to figure this out. In the sources tab of dev tools, turn on "break on caught error" and see if you can get to the line that looks like that one it printed out in that message. That'll help you figure out what code is breaking.
Presumably it's in the dynamic importer plugin, so you could just look in that plugin's code on the site, and see where that is, and find out what's gone wrong that way.
Thanks! I appreciate the support. Helps a lot to know where to start looking ( ; v ;)b!
Do you know where I can find documemtation on the perchance API?
Specifically createPerchanceTree ?
I need to know which functions there are , and what inputs/outputs they take.
I've just updated the dynamic import plugin so it's a bit more helpful with the error message. Looks like you're passing undefined to dynamicImport
.
The error messages in Perchance are, in general, atrociously unhelpful. I really need to overhaul it so bugs like this are easier for you to find. From some fiddling with Chrome DevTools, it looks like the first instance of this type of error is occurring on this line:
dynamicImport(document.i, 'preload');
i.e. document.i
is undefined when that runs.
Good find! Fixed. It was well appreciated.
