​
Parameters

cacheKey
string
required

Should be a stable and unique cache key inside the run(). See resumability for more information.

min
number
default: "0"required

Sets the lower bound (inclusive). Can’t be higher than max.

max
number
default: "1"required

Sets the upper bound (exclusive). Can’t be lower than min.

round
boolean
default: "false"required

Controls rounding to the nearest integer. Any max integer will become inclusive when enabled. Rounding with floating-point bounds may cause unexpected skew and boundary inclusivity.

​
Returns

A Promise that resolves with a pseudo-random number. Always resolves to an integer when rounding is enabled.
