Go package and associated command line utility to generate random yet human-readable names and identifiers. Somewhat inspired by the random names that Docker gives its containers and GCP uses as project-ids.
Use it to generate email-ids, gamer-tags, component-ids, passwords or startup names.
For instance, it came up with gems like: boujee-coorgi, young-flamingo, articulate-otter-92, ancient-mako-7ab1g3 and mighty-pale-pikachu-7133.
- 1 Million unique possibilities with just names and nearly infinite named ids
- Zero Allocations! No additional memory allocations other than the
stringreturned - Blazing fast!!
(10,000,000 Op/s)
Generate names using default config.
ngen := namegen.New()
fmt.Println(ngen.Get()) // twisted-flamingo
Configure name generator to generate named ids of the form "adjective-color-animal-xxxx".
name_schema := []namegen.DictType{
namegen.Adjectives,
namegen.Colors,
namegen.Animals,
}
ngen := namegen.NewWithPostfixId(name_schema, namegen.Numeric, 4)
fmt.Println(ngen.Get()) // energetic-pink-pug-3729
