Die

A simple route for running the dice roll module.

Function Name: roll_module

This function is called with a user navigates to /roll?<args>.

Uppon being called it grabs the args and splits them into an vector by the delimiter & (the & does not go into the vector) As long as there is at least 1 specified argument, it will call the roll module with that argument.

If &json is specified at the END of the path, it will drop down into "Some(i)". It removes the json argument from the vector, then returns the output of roll as a json formated object

Example

Calling with one argument {base_ul}/roll?-h

Calling with multiple arguments {base_url}/roll?-v&3d4

Requesting json {base_url}/roll?3d4&json

Definition

        None => {
            let output = Command::new("./build/roll")
                .args(args1)
                .output()
                .expect("failed");
            return String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout).to_string();
        },

        Some(i) => {
            remove_ele(&mut args1, i);
            let output = Command::new("./build/roll")
                .args(args1)
                .output()
                .expect("failed");
            let mut output_string = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout).to_string();
            output_string.pop();
            let json = json!({"output" : output_string});
            return json.to_string();
        }
