Usage
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 customHaikunator = new Haikunator({
adjectives: ['custom', 'adjectives'],
nouns: ['custom', 'nouns'],
seed: 'custom-seed',
// class defaults
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"
Options
The following options are available:
var Haikunator = require('haikunator')
var haikunator = new Haikunator({
adjectives: ['custom', 'adjectives'],
nouns: ['custom', 'nouns'],
seed: 'custom-seed', // Custom seed
// Class wide defaults, can get overridden by haikunate(options)
defaults: {
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
