Haikunator is pretty simple.
var Haikunator = require('haikunator')
// ES6: import Haikunator from 'haikunator'
// Instantiate Haikunator without options
// var haikunator = new Haikunator()
// Instantiate Haikunator with default options
var haikunator = new Haikunator({
adjectives: ['custom', 'adjectives'],
nouns: ['custom', 'nouns'],
seed: 'custom-seed',
defaults: { // class defaults
tokenLength: 8,
tokenChars: 'HAIKUNATOR',
// ...
}
})
// default usage
haikunator.haikunate() // => "wispy-dust-1337"
// custom length (default=4)
haikunator.haikunate({tokenLength: 6}) // => "patient-king-887265"
// use hex instead of numbers
haikunator.haikunate({tokenHex: true}) // => "purple-breeze-98e1"
// use custom chars instead of numbers/hex
haikunator.haikunate({tokenChars: "HAIKUNATE"}) // => "summer-atom-IHEA"
// don't include a token
haikunator.haikunate({tokenLength: 0}) // => "cold-wildflower"
// use a different delimiter
haikunator.haikunate({delimiter: "."}) // => "restless.sea.7976"
// no token, space delimiter
haikunator.haikunate({tokenLength: 0, delimiter: " "}) // => "delicate haze"
// no token, empty delimiter
haikunator.haikunate({tokenLength: 0, delimiter: ""}) // => "billowingleaf"
The following options are available:
var Haikunator = require("haikunator")
var haikunator = new Haikunator({
adjectives: ['custom', 'adjectives'],
nouns: ['custom', 'nouns'],
seed: 'custom-seed', // Custom seed
defaults: { // Class wide defaults, can get overridden by haikunate(options)
delimiter: "-",
tokenLength: 4,
tokenHex: false,
tokenChars: "0123456789",
}
})
// Same options are also available on the haikunate method
haikunator.haikunate({
delimiter: "-",
tokenLength: 4,
tokenHex: false,
tokenChars: "0123456789"
})
If tokenHex
is true, any tokens specified in tokenChars
are ignored
