# `easyrand`

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dbr/easyrand-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dbr/easyrand-rs) [![Documentation](https://docs.rs/easyrand/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/easyrand)

Simpler to use random number library for the Rust language.

The library wraps the [`rand`][rand] crate, exposing a smaller API somewhat inspired by the Python [`random`][random] module. Similar in concept to [`reqwest`][reqwest] being a wrapper for the more complex [`hyper`][hyper].

# Usage

Add to `Cargo.toml`:

    [dependencies]
    easyrand="0.2"

Then to use:

    extern crate easyrand;

    // Generate a random f64 between 0 and 1
    let r = easyrand::random();

    // Or for a given range
    let r = easyrand::randrange(0.0, 10.0);

    // Generate a random integer
    let r = easyrand::randint(0, 99);

    // Shuffle a vector
    let mut inputs = vec!["a", "b", "c", "d"];
    easyrand::shuffle(&mut inputs);


# Release process

1. Ensure tests are passing with `cargo test` and check CI
2. Verify `CHANGELOG.md` is up to date
3. Update version number in `Cargo.toml`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md` (and commit changes)
4. Run `cargo publish`
