Senso

Choose a meaningful name for that brand new JS framework you are developing

So you want to create a new framework, uh? But how will it stand out from the plethora of already existing ones? It has to have a nice, catchy name. And if that name makes sense with your framework's purpose, that's even better. What ? You'd rather spend the time for searching that name actually developing?

Fear no more ! With this incredible new framework/package/whatever man you have to use this called Senso, all of the research will be done for you and you will only have to pick that one name you prefer over the proposed ones!

In a more serious tone

Senso uses moby as a base to retrieve synonyms of the desired idea.

The dictionary.json file is taken from here. It has been rearranged as a JSON file for better usability.

You can use pretty much any file following this format (commas for convenience):

{
  "beer": "drinks,alcohol,beverage",
  "pizza": "food,snack"
}

Usage

Installation

Install the package with npm install senso --save

The words translated and returned in a JSON object are randomly chosen among the words matching the ideas provided. The number of words returned is defined by the second parameter of the Generator constructor.

// Create the name generator with an array containing various ideas
// Pick 2 words out of the matching ones
let nameGenerator = new Generator(['fun', 'drink','club','night','bar','dance','lounge'], 2);
// Handle the result
nameGenerator.generateNames().then(function (names) {
    // Do whatever you want with the result
    ...
    console.log(names);
    ...
});

The code above will produce the following output :

{
  "cabaret":[
    {
      "language":"ar",
      "translation":"ملهى",
      "romanized":"mlh~"
    },
    {
      "language":"es",
      "translation":"cabaret"
    },
    {
