lorem-ipsum
Advanced tools
Generates passages of lorem ipsum text suitable for use as placeholder copy in web pages, graphics, and more. Works in the browser, NodeJS, and React Native.
The 'lorem-ipsum' npm package is a versatile tool for generating placeholder text, commonly known as 'Lorem Ipsum'. It can be used to create paragraphs, sentences, or words of dummy text, which is useful for design mockups, testing, and other scenarios where placeholder text is needed.
Generate Lorem Ipsum Paragraphs
This feature allows you to generate a specified number of paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum text. The code sample demonstrates how to generate 2 paragraphs.
const LoremIpsum = require('lorem-ipsum').LoremIpsum;
const lorem = new LoremIpsum();
console.log(lorem.generateParagraphs(2));Generate Lorem Ipsum Sentences
This feature allows you to generate a specified number of sentences of Lorem Ipsum text. The code sample demonstrates how to generate 3 sentences.
const LoremIpsum = require('lorem-ipsum').LoremIpsum;
const lorem = new LoremIpsum();
console.log(lorem.generateSentences(3));Generate Lorem Ipsum Words
This feature allows you to generate a specified number of words of Lorem Ipsum text. The code sample demonstrates how to generate 5 words.
const LoremIpsum = require('lorem-ipsum').LoremIpsum;
const lorem = new LoremIpsum();
console.log(lorem.generateWords(5));The 'faker' package is a comprehensive library for generating fake data, including names, addresses, and Lorem Ipsum text. It offers more extensive functionality compared to 'lorem-ipsum', making it suitable for a wider range of use cases.
The 'lorem-ipsum-generator' package is another tool for generating Lorem Ipsum text. It is similar to 'lorem-ipsum' but offers additional customization options for the generated text, such as specifying the length of sentences and paragraphs.
The 'dummy-text-generator' package provides a simple way to generate dummy text, including Lorem Ipsum. It is less feature-rich than 'lorem-ipsum' but is straightforward and easy to use for basic placeholder text needs.
🎉 Celebrating 10 years of lorem-ipsum 🎉
lorem-ipsum is a JavaScript module for generating passages of lorem
ipsum text. Lorem ipsum text is commonly used as placeholder text in
publishing, graphic design, and web development.
lorem-ipsum is compatible with the browser, Node.JS, and React Native.
THIS README IS FOR VERSION 2. SWITCH TO 1-STABLE BRANCH FOR THE
VERSION 1 DOCUMENTATION.
IF YOU NEED COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS OF NODEJS, PLEASE USE V1.0.6 WHICH IS
COMPATIBLE BACK TO NODE 0.4. npm i lorem-ipsum@1.0.6
npm i lorem-ipsum
The class is the recommended way to use lorem-ipsum since version 2.
It makes it simpler to generate text using the same options.
import { LoremIpsum } from "lorem-ipsum";
// const LoremIpsum = require("lorem-ipsum").LoremIpsum;
const lorem = new LoremIpsum({
sentencesPerParagraph: {
max: 8,
min: 4
},
wordsPerSentence: {
max: 16,
min: 4
}
});
lorem.generateWords(1);
lorem.generateSentences(5);
lorem.generateParagraphs(7);
lorem-ipsum version 2 exports a function that is backwards-
compatible with the default function exported by lorem-ipsum version
import { loremIpsum } from "lorem-ipsum";
// const loremIpsum = require("lorem-ipsum").loremIpsum;
loremIpsum(); // generates one sentence
Like before, you can pass in a number of options to customize the output. The example below shows the default options.
import { loremIpsum } from "lorem-ipsum";
loremIpsum({
count: 1, // Number of "words", "sentences", or "paragraphs"
format: "plain", // "plain" or "html"
paragraphLowerBound: 3, // Min. number of sentences per paragraph.
paragraphUpperBound: 7, // Max. number of sentences per paragarph.
random: Math.random, // A PRNG function
sentenceLowerBound: 5, // Min. number of words per sentence.
sentenceUpperBound: 15, // Max. number of words per sentence.
suffix: "\n", // Line ending, defaults to "\n" or "\r\n" (win32)
units: "sentences", // paragraph(s), "sentence(s)", or "word(s)"
words: ["ad", ...] // Array of words to draw from
})
lorem-ipsum includes a command line interface (CLI) program for generating
passages of lorem ipsum text directly from your terminal. This CLI program
is compatible with Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux. On Linux you will need to
install xclip. On Ubuntu: apt-get install xclip.
Simply install the module globally to take advantage of this feature.
npm i -g lorem-ipsum
Execute the statement lorem-ipsum [count] [units] from your terminal to
generate a passage of lorem ipsum text. You can additional arguments to
the program.
lorem-ipsum --version
# Displays the version number
lorem-ipsum --help

Uprading from version 1.x? The --count and --units options have been

above.
