Formats generated random numbers in many manners. When 'random/formatter'
is required, several methods are added to empty core module Random::Formatter
, making them available as Random’s instance and module methods.
Standard library SecureRandom
is also extended with the module, and the methods described below are available as a module methods in it.
Generate random hexadecimal strings:
require 'random/formatter' prng = Random.new prng.hex(10) #=> "52750b30ffbc7de3b362" prng.hex(10) #=> "92b15d6c8dc4beb5f559" prng.hex(13) #=> "39b290146bea6ce975c37cfc23" # or just Random.hex #=> "1aed0c631e41be7f77365415541052ee"
Generate random base64 strings:
prng.base64(10) #=> "EcmTPZwWRAozdA==" prng.base64(10) #=> "KO1nIU+p9DKxGg==" prng.base64(12) #=> "7kJSM/MzBJI+75j8" Random.base64(4) #=> "bsQ3fQ=="
Generate random binary strings:
prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\016\t{\370g\310pbr\301" prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\323U\030TO\234\357\020\a\337" Random.random_bytes(6) #=> "\xA1\xE6Lr\xC43"
Generate alphanumeric strings:
prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "S8baxMJnPl" prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "aOxAg8BAJe" Random.alphanumeric #=> "TmP9OsJHJLtaZYhP"
Generate UUIDs:
prng.uuid #=> "2d931510-d99f-494a-8c67-87feb05e1594" prng.uuid #=> "bad85eb9-0713-4da7-8d36-07a8e4b00eab" Random.uuid #=> "f14e0271-de96-45cc-8911-8910292a42cd"
All methods are available in the standard library SecureRandom
, too:
SecureRandom.hex #=> "05b45376a30c67238eb93b16499e50cf"
Generate a random number in the given range as Random
does
prng.random_number #=> 0.5816771641321361 prng.random_number(1000) #=> 485 prng.random_number(1..6) #=> 3 prng.rand #=> 0.5816771641321361 prng.rand(1000) #=> 485 prng.rand(1..6) #=> 3

This module is used for safely loading Marshal
specs from a gem. The ‘safe_load` method defined on this module is specifically designed for loading Gem specifications.
This class represents a YAML Mapping.
A Psych::Nodes::Mapping
node may have 0 or more children, but must have an even number of children. Here are the valid children a Psych::Nodes::Mapping
node may have:
Default formatter for log messages.
Raised if the mask given to a binary operation is invalid, e.g. zero length or overlaps the target buffer.
The result of parsing a pack template.
