Doctor Who names: a simple and small npm package to get Doctor Who characters names. Can be useful for data anonymization or username placeholder.

const Generator = require('doctor-who');
const gen = new Generator();

gen.random(); // 'Rory Williams'
gen.all(); // ['Amy Pond', 'Rose Tyler', ... ]
gen.get(2); // ['River Song', 'Clara Oswald']

npm install --global doctor-who
# or

// Will generate names from only the companions of the 10th and 11th Doctor.
const gen = new Generator([11, 10]);

// Will generate names from the companions of all Doctors.
const gen = new Generator('all');

// Will generate names from the companions of only the 12th doctor.
const gen = new Generator([12]);
