Generate human-readable ids from lists of easy-to-spell nouns and adjectives
Use JavaScript to generate human-readable ids from a lists of nouns and adjectives.
Generate ids in the format of adjective-noun-#
such as
My problem is that I often want ids that I can type without having to look at twice (nor telling someone else twice).
I should be able to shout one of these ids across the room to a co-worker or spouse and have them be able to enter it without any confusion.
Currently the id space is about 1,000,000 ids (100 * 100 * 100).
The goal is to have several billion possible combinations by adding more words as well as expanding the ids to have verbs and adverbs.
For a larger address space now, consider:
All of these also have the benefit of bi-directional conversion, but not all of them have words which are easy to pronounce and spell.
# from npm
npm install --save human-readable-ids
# directly from git
npm install --save https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/human-readable-ids.js.git
'use strict';
var hri = require('human-readable-ids').hri;
var i;
// generate 100 random ids
for (i = 0; i < 100; i += 1) {
console.log(hri.random());
}

Please add more words that fit these criteria
All of the words are sorted alphabetically (sort -u
) and stored in
the *.txt
files.
The pre-publish script outputs the formatted javascript.
