quick-lorem

A simple npx package to output lorem ipsum strings to the command line, without much complication.

Usage

Simply run npx quick-lorem on your terminal to output a lorem ipsum string.

npx quick-lorem

# Output
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In maximus a odio eu imperdiet. Morbi auctor fringilla sollicitudin. Fusce id nisl urna. Quisque tristique odio et molestie semper. Maecenas sagittis justo mauris, id commodo nunc commodo nec. Nullam suscipit tempus velit, sit amet feugiat sem tincidunt sed. 

A variety of options is available to modify the output, including setting letter capitalization and desired length. These options are described below.

| Option | type | description | | ------------- | -------- | ----------- | | --chars | number | Output a set number of characters, up to a max of 75000. | | --words | number | Output a set number of words, up to a max of 10000. Takes precedence over characters count. | | --paragraphs | number | Output a set number of paragraphs, up to a max of 150. Takes precedence over character and word counts. | | --lowercase | boolean | Converts the output to lowercase. | | --capitalize | boolean | Capitalize the first letter of each word on the output. Takes precedence over lowercase. | | --randomcase | boolean | Randomizes the case of each letter on the output. Takes precedence over capitalization and lowercase. | | --uppercase | boolean | Converts the output to uppercase. Takes precedence of other letter cases. | | --spaced | boolean | Adds newline spaces between paragraphs on the output. Becomes evident only if you use a high enough character or word count. Notice that newlines count for the character length. Always active when using the --paragraphs option. |

Notice the precedence rules described above. Using multiple concurrent flags will cause the one with highest precedence to be used. For example, using lorem --uppercase --lowercase will result in an uppercase output.
