⚄︎ 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.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

  • 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 and ai-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.

I'm aware of the create-instance-plugin.

My question is: why objects can't be used in a generator? I've tried several methods, but it seems impossible. What if I have a JSON object and want to use it in my generator?

Can you share a minimal example of what you've tried?

I think you might be running into the issue where you need to wrap your object in parentheses, like this? foo = [({abc:123})] See the meta:tags lines in https://perchance.org/t2i-styles#edit for an example.

You only need to do that if you're creating an object within square brackets without assigning it to a variable within those brackets. E.g. you can just write [foo={abc:123}] since the equals sign forces the JavaScript engine to interpret it as an object.

The reason for this weirdness is technical - related to how JavaScript engines evaluate stuff. Basically, {abc:123} on its own (without parentheses or variable assignment) is interpreted as a block scope with a label.
