[Help] How to check if generator name exists

Hello y'all,

Does anyone know how to check if a perchance generator name exists on perchance?

Context:

I've added a feature to allow users to load their own datasets into the fusion-gen. The code is above, but the feature itself looks like this:

I'd like to be able to check if the string matches a generator that exists on perchance. Does anyone know the name of that function?

You can possibly use the API that retrieves the generator's stats for the generator cards. Though you need to make the function an async function.

async loadUserDataset() => // Need to change it to an Async function to wait for the data to be retrieved.
  ...
  if(userDataset != "") {
    let result = await fetch("/api/getGeneratorStats?names="+userDataset).then(r => r.json()); // Gets the Generator Stats
    let gens = result.data; // Returns an Array of Generator
    if (gens.length > 0) { // If there is data
      document.userDataset = userDataset;
    } else { // if not
      alert('Perchance Page Not Found');
      document.userDataset = 'template-fusion-generator-dataset' // or any default pages
    }
  }
  ...
  update() // to refresh the display, or you can use element.innerHTML = this new value

I see. Thanks! I can use this.

Since its async , I think what I'll do is use the code to make a wrapper function for the dynamic import plugin, something like :

myDynamicImportWrapper( "blahblah" , default = "template-fusion-generator-dataset" )
