#CraftingJS
CraftingJS is a variable writing engine written in javascript.
It uses a JSON file of over 24,000 words to randomly generate real, English word variables for you to use for code writing or other random purposes.
##Installation
To install the package:
npm install craftingjs
Then for usage in your node programs, simply do
var crafting = require('craftingjs');
##Usage
The package comes with an object called the VariableSet, which manages your variables for you in the form of an iterator.
It supports the following methods:
###.contains(name)
:
Checks if a variable name has already been iterated, or exists in the set.
###.newVar()
:
Randomly retrieves a new variable and adds it to th set, with a reference count of 1, and returns the variable.
###.pickVar()
:
Randomly picks an already existing variable in the Variable set.
###.decRef(name)
:
Decreases the reference count of an existing variable if it exists, and deletes it if the reference count reaches 0.
