Hi, the documentation is out of date here. There is a global API you can use instead.

const api = window.DiceRoller;
api.getRoller(...)

Thanks. That works.
I leave this open for javalent as a reminder to update the documentation.

My final script:

const diceRollerPlugin = window.DiceRoller;
file = this.app.workspace.getActiveFile();
const diceRoller = await diceRollerPlugin.getRoller(app.metadataCache.getFileCache(file).frontmatter['dice']);
const result = await diceRoller.roll();
app.fileManager.processFrontMatter(file, frontmatter => {frontmatter['rolled'] = result});

Rolls a dice defined in metadata and stores the result in metadata. Niche usecase but is going to do wonders for my solo rpg efforts as the diceroll can now be saved and reused. Only when i click the meta bind button again a new roll is done.
