Class Roll

An interface and API for constructing and evaluating dice rolls. The basic structure for a dice roll is a string formula and an object of data against which to parse it.

Example: Attack with advantage

// Construct the Roll instance
let r = new Roll("2d20kh + @prof + @strMod", {prof: 2, strMod: 4});

// The parsed terms of the roll formula
console.log(r.terms);    // [Die, OperatorTerm, NumericTerm, OperatorTerm, NumericTerm]

// Execute the roll
await r.evaluate();

// The resulting equation after it was rolled
console.log(r.result);   // 16 + 2 + 4

// The total resulting from the roll
console.log(r.total);    // 22
