@spec generate(
  words: integer(),
  salt: integer(),
  salt_type: salt_type(),
  separator: binary(),
  dictionary: dictionary_type()
) :: {:ok, binary()} | {:error, atom()}

Generates a random name from a Namor dictionary.

Returns {:ok, name} for a successfully generated name, or {:error, reason} if something goes wrong. See Custom Dictionaries for instructions on how to use a custom dictionary.

options

Options

• :words - Number of words to generate. Must be <=4. Defaults to 2.
• :salt - Length of the salt to append. Must be >=0. Defaults to 0.
• :salt_type - Whether the salt should contain numbers, letters, or both. Defaults to :mixed.
• :separator - String to use as a separator between words. Defaults to -.
• :dictionary - Namor dictionary to use. Defaults to :default.

error-reasons

Error Reasons

• :dict_not_found - Could not find the specified dictionary.

example

Example

iex> require Namor
Namor

iex> Namor.generate(words: 3, dictionary: :rugged)
{:ok, "savage-whiskey-stain"}

@spec generate(
  [
    words: integer(),
    salt: integer(),
    salt_type: salt_type(),
    separator: binary()
  ],
  Namor.Dictionary.t()
) :: {:ok, binary()}

Generates a random name from a custom dictionary.

Returns {:ok, name} for a successfully generated name. Takes the same options as generate/1 with the exception of :dictionary.

@spec get_dictionaries() :: %{required(binary()) => Namor.Dictionary.t()}

Get Namor's dictionaries.

@spec get_reserved() :: [binary()]

Get Namor's reserved word list.

@spec reserved?(binary()) :: boolean()

Checks whether a value exists in Namor's list of reserved words.

See reserved?/2 for more info. See Custom Dictionaries for instructions on how to use a custom reserved word list.

@spec reserved?(binary(), [binary()]) :: boolean()

Checks whether a value exists in a provided list of reserved words.

Before checking, the value is stripped of all special characters. So for example, log-in will still return true if ["login"] is passed to reserved.

@spec subdomain?(binary()) :: boolean()

Checks whether a given value is a valid subdomain.

Valid subdomains contain no special characters other than -, and are 63 characters or less.

@spec with_salt(binary(), integer(), binary(), salt_type()) :: binary()

Appends a salt to a value.

If you want to use a custom charlist for the salt, use Namor.Helpers.get_salt/2 instead.
