Random Animal Name Generator

This simple tool just generates a random animal name following this structure: [emotion/feeling adjective]-[emotion/feeling adjective]-[color]-[animal]. For example: happy-crazy-yellow-cow.

Perfect if you need to generate random usernames or other random needs.

Attention: This is not at all cryptographically or security safe, it uses basic JS Random methods. There are in total 16.873.627(233521139) possible combinations.

How to use

Import the package:

yarn add js-random-animal-name-generator

or

npm install js-random-animal-name-generator

and then just invoke the method:

import GenerateRandomName from 'js-random-animal-name-generator' 
const randomAnimalName = GenerateRandomName();

Formatting

By default, it applies lower case and kebab case. You can pass as a parameter to GenerateRandomName() a custom formatter function that receives an array of string (the adjectives + the animal name, in order) and returns a string:

formatter?: (data: string[]) => string

If no formatter is passed, the default formatting applies

Number of adjectives

GenerateRandomName accepts a second parameter which defines the amount of adjectives (without counting color) it should have. Default value is 2.

Examples

No adjectives, only color and animal

const randomAnimalName = GenerateRandomName(undefined,0) (0 or any number below 0 has the same effect)

3 adjectives, default formatter

const randomAnimalName = GenerateRandomName(undefined,0)

2 adjectives, default formatter

const randomAnimalName = GenerateRandomName() (default values)

Custom formatter, 1 adjective

const customFormatter = (data:string[]):string => {
    return data.join("_");
}
const randomAnimalName = GenerateRandomName(customFormatter,1)
