##API The module returns single method generate(options)

Calling generate() with no arguments will return an object:

{
    raw: ['whispering', 'valley'],
    dashed: 'whispering-valley',
    spaced: 'whispering valley'
}

The options argument object can have properties

• words (number) - Number of words generated (excluding number). All words will be adjectives, except the last one which will be a noun. Defaults to 2.
• number (boolean) - Whether a numeric suffix is generated or not. The number is between 1 - 9999, both inclusive. Defaults to false.

generate({ words: 3 }) will return:

{
    raw: ['harmonious', 'endurable', 'substance'],
    dashed: 'harmonious-endurable-substance',
    spaced: 'harmonious endurable substance'
}

generate({ words: 5, number: true }) will return:

{
  raw: [ 'exciting', 'cooperative', 'legal', 'lackadaisical', 'blood', 4099 ],
  dashed: 'exciting-cooperative-legal-lackadaisical-blood-4099',
  spaced: 'exciting cooperative legal lackadaisical blood 4099'
}
