RollGroup

A RollGroup is a group of one or more "sub-rolls".

A sub-roll is just simple roll notation (e.g. 4d6, 2d10*3, 5/10d20)

new RollGroup([expressions], [modifiers], [description])

Create a RollGroup instance.

Example (`{4d6+4, 2d%/5}k1`)

const expressions = [
  [
    new StandardDice(6, 4),
    '+',
    4,
  ],
  [
    new PercentileDice(2),
    '/',
    5,
  ],
];

const modifiers = [
  new KeepModifier(),
];

const group = new RollGroup(expressions, modifiers);

rollGroup.expressions ⇒ Array.<Array.<(StandardDice|string|number)>>

The sub-roll expressions in the group.

Kind: instance property of RollGroup

rollGroup.expressions

Set the sub-roll expressions in the group.

Kind: instance property of RollGroup
Throws:

• TypeError Expressions must be an array of arrays
• TypeError Sub expressions cannot be empty
• TypeError Sub expression items must be Dice, numbers, or strings

rollGroup.modifiers ⇒ Map.<string, Modifier> | null

The modifiers that affect the object.

Kind: instance property of RollGroup

rollGroup.modifiers

Set the modifiers that affect this group.

Kind: instance property of RollGroup
Throws:

• TypeError Modifiers should be a Map, array of Modifiers, or an Object

rollGroup.notation ⇒ string

The group notation. e.g. {4d6, 2d10+3}k1.

Kind: instance property of RollGroup

rollGroup.roll() ⇒ ResultGroup

Run the sub-roll expressions for the group.

Kind: instance method of RollGroup
Returns: ResultGroup - The results of the sub-rolls
Example (`{4d6+4/1d6, 2d10/3}k1`)

ResultGroup {
  results: [
    // sub-roll 1 - 4d6+4/1d6
    ResultGroup {
      results: [
        RollResults {
          rolls: [
            RollResult {
              value: 2
            },
            RollResult {
              value: 5
            },
            RollResult {
              value: 4
            },
            RollResult {
              value: 1
            }
          ]
        },
        '+',
        4,
        '/',
        RollResults {
          rolls: [
            RollResult {
              value: 4
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    // sub-roll 2 - 2d10/3
    ResultGroup {
      results: [
        RollResults {
          rolls: [
            RollResults {
              4
            },
            RollResults {
              9
            }
          ]
        },
        '/',
        3
      ]
    }
  ]
}

rollGroup.toJSON() ⇒ Object

Return an object for JSON serialising.

This is called automatically when JSON encoding the object.

Kind: instance method of RollGroup

rollGroup.toString() ⇒ string

Return the String representation of the object.

This is called automatically when casting the object to a string.
