Chance - Utility library to generate anything random

# node

It can also be used in [Node.js](http://nodejs.org)

```bash
npm install chance
```

or if you're using [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)

```bash
yarn add chance
```

then in your app

```js
// Load Chance
var Chance = require("chance");

// Instantiate Chance so it can be used
var chance = new Chance();

// Use Chance here.
var my_random_string = chance.string();
```

Or if you're using ES6

```js
// Load Chance
import Chance from "chance";

// Instantiate Chance so it can be used
const chance = new Chance();

// Use Chance here.
const my_random_string = chance.string();
```

As of version 0.5.5, the following is also offered as a convenience for getting
an instance of Chance

```js
// Load and instantiate Chance
var chance = require("chance").Chance();

// Use Chance here.
var my_random_string = chance.string();
```
