An overview of the OpenRPG API, including how to call and use it, some basic templates, and more.

NameGenerator

A simple route for running the name generation module.

Function Name: name_module

This function is called with a user navigates to /name?<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_url}/name?-h

Calling with multiple arguments {base_url}/name?human&male

Requesting json {base_url}/roll?human&male&json
