Project Name Generator

Generate quirky names like spiffy-waterfall, sassy-bread, mature-dew-8239 to use wherever you need a random but memorable name.

Useful for object names, temp folders, passwords, project names, unique ids etc

##Note This version introduces some breaking changes - please see the tag 1.0.0 for the older version.

##Install npm install project-name-generator --save

##Quick Start

var generate = require('project-name-generator').generate;

generate().dashed; // 'uptight-guitar'

generate().spaced; // 'grandiose clam'

generate().raw; // ['deluxe', 'grandmother']

generate({ number: true }).dashed; // 'disgraceful-temper-7794'

generate({ words: 4 }).raw; // ['tiny', 'crabby', 'wired', 'quicksand']

generate({ words: 4, number: true }).dashed; // 'breakable-judicious-luxuriant-tax-3931'

##API The module returns an object with a 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'
}
