Example Usages
- Example 1: Generate Apple-style password
var generatePassword = require('advanced-password-generator');
var options = {
apple: true,
checkStrength: true
};
var totalLength = 20;
var generatedPassword = generatePassword(totalLength, options);
console.log("Generated a password in the style of Apple Password Generator:", generatedPassword);
//Example output: lxogiW-sbv9cv-jxmnzk, Password strength: Strong
- Example 2: Lowercase Letters Only
var generatePassword = require('advanced-password-generator');
var options = {
lowercase: true,
uppercase: false,
numbers: false,
symbols: false,
hyphens: false,
apple: false,
checkStrength: true
};
var totalLength = 10;
var generatedPassword = generatePassword(totalLength, options);
console.log("Generated password (lowercase only):", generatedPassword);
//Example output: bpjjkriydb, Password strength: Very Weak
This will generate a password with 10 lowercase letters.
- Example 3: Mixed Characters with Hyphens
var generatePassword = require('advanced-password-generator');
var options = {
lowercase: true,
uppercase: true,
numbers: true,
symbols: false,
hyphens: true,
apple: false,
checkStrength: false
};
var totalLength = 20;
var generatedPassword = generatePassword(totalLength, options);
console.log("Generated password (uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens):", generatedPassword);
//Example output: hNfVdL-ZWnYH4-p2UaCb
This will generate a password with 20 characters that include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens for better readability.
- Example 4: Mixed Characters with Default Options
var generatePassword = require('advanced-password-generator');
var totalLength = 20;
var generatedPassword = generatePassword(totalLength);
console.log("Generated password with Default Options:", generatedPassword);
// Example output: fxP2O1-kw5aJ6-2KydFB
This will generate a password with 20 characters that include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens for better readability. If no options
are specified, the function will use the following defaults:
options = {
lowercase: true,
uppercase: true,
numbers: true,
symbols: false,
hyphens: true,
apple: false,
checkStrength: false
};
This means you do not need to specify the options unless you want to customize them.
Notes
- If both
lowercase
anduppercase
are set totrue
, the password will include both uppercase and lowercase letters. - When
hyphens
is selected, the total length will include the hyphens, so the actual character count will be adjusted accordingly. - For Apple-style passwords, the total length cannot be changeable because Apple-style passwords are always 20 characters long.
