API

In order to utilize the dddice JavaScript SDK, you will need to generate an API Key. More information can be found on the API Documentation site.

Usage

To utilize dddice in your own project, install the library using npm.

npm i dddice-js

Or include the library from our CDN.

<script src="https://cdn.dddice.com/js/dddice-latest.js"></script>

Initialize the library to establish a connection and begin rendering.

// import ThreeDDice class if using npm
import { ThreeDDice } from 'dddice-js';

// initalize dddice with a <canvas /> element and API key
const dddice = new ThreeDDice(document.getElementById("dddice"), "<api_key_goes_here>");

// start dddice and connect to a room to receive rolls
dddice.start();
dddice.connect("<room_id_goes_here>"); // make sure you're in this room!

Roll Dice

To roll dice, simply call the roll function. This will roll the provided theme and die type in the connected room.

dddice.roll([{
theme: "dddice-standard",
type: "d20",
}]);
