Evaluate poker hold'em hands
npm install @botpoker/handYou can install @botpoker/hand via npm:
``
npm i @botpoker/hand --save
@botpoker/hand does just one thing: it tries to guess the strength of a given poker combination. It exports only one method:
`js`
const whatIs = require("@botpoker/hand");
The whatIs function expects to be called with an array of five cards.card
A is an object with properties rank, and type, like the one used by poker-deck.
`js`
whatIs([
{ rank: "6", type: "H" },
{ rank: "7", type: "D" },
{ rank: "9", type: "S" },
{ rank: "8", type: "C" },
{ rank: "5", type: "C" },
]);
This is a straight of 9... however @botpoker/hand know this is a combination with a strength of 4 compared to the other possible poker combinations.
`js`
whatIs([
{ rank: "2", type: "D" },
{ rank: "3", type: "D" },
{ rank: "J", type: "D" },
{ rank: "5", type: "D" },
{ rank: "6", type: "D" },
]);
This is a flush, and the highest card is Jack; so this combination has a strength of 5. In this case the expected result is:
`js``
{
name: "Flush",
strength: 5,
rank: "J",
kickers: ["6", "5", "3", "2"],
}
