tigrino / pronounceableword Goto Github PK

A light, customizable and simple PHP (>= 5.2) library, used to generate randomly pronounceable words, names and passwords without using database of existing words or big samples of text like with Markov chains.

Warning

Offensive or insulting words might be generated because of the random nature of the generator (see how to manage them in ./doc/manageOffensiveAndInsultingWords.rst).

First, get the last stable version, and put it in an accessible directory.

You can use composer to do so (http://packagist.org/), by adding in the require of your file ./composer.json the following entry: "gnugat/PronounceableWord": "*".

You should have a fully operationnal pronounceable word generator:

<?php
// File "/index.php".

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/vendor/PronounceableWord/src/PronounceableWord/DependencyInjectionContainer.php';

define('MINIMUM_LENGTH', 5);
define('MAXIMUM_LENGTH', 11);

$length = rand(MINIMUM_LENGTH, MAXIMUM_LENGTH);

$container = new PronounceableWord_DependencyInjectionContainer();
$generator = $container->getGenerator();
$word = $generator->generateWordOfGivenLength($length);

To customize the algorithm, the letters used, the linked letters or the types, just copy and modify as you wish the files in the ./src/PronounceableWord/Configuration directory and then pass your configuration classes to the container (see how to configure in ./doc/configuration.rst).

Tests are done using PHPUnit (https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/) (>=3.5) in the ./test directory (see how to test in ./doc/tests.rst).

Here is a sample of examples that can be generated (use the ./bin/generateExamples.php script for more):

Basically, the library will generate a word following these rules:

1. Choose randomly a letter;
2. choose randomly a linked letter of different type;
3. choose randomly a linked letter, of different type if the last letter is of consecutive types.

Where:

• "linked letter" is an arbitrary chosen letter that is expected to follow well the previous letter;
• "types" would be voyels and consonants;
• "consecutive" would be a group of two letters from the same "type".

The step 3 is repeated as many times as necessary.
