README
Generate a username with flexible configuration options. For now the nouns are animal names.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require grantholle/laravel-username-generator
You can optionally publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-username-generator-config"
By default, it will generate a username studly case with 1 adjective, 1 noun and no numeric prefix. You can modify the config file with your preferred numbers:
return [ 'adjectives' => 2, 'nouns' => 1, 'digits' => 2, // The casing leverages Laravel's string helper functions: // "lower", "upper", "studly", "kebab", "camel", "snake", "slug" 'casing' => 'slug', ];
Usage
You can leverage your config setup to generate a username based on those options. Using the above configuration as an example, this would generate a username as adjective-adjective-noun-##
:
use GrantHolle\UsernameGenerator\Username; $username = Username::make(); // grave-tame-tiger-60
Or, if you want to configure your username on the fly, you can use a fluent API to build your username:
use GrantHolle\UsernameGenerator\Username; $username = (new Username) ->withAdjectiveCount(2) ->withNounCount(2) ->withDigitCount(4) ->withCasing('snake') ->generate(); // gentle_wan_chimpanzee_sandpiper8828
Command
This also comes with a make:username
command to generate a username from the command line:
# This will use what's in your configuration file php artisan make:username # personal-unrealistic-eland-30
You can pass in a number of options to change how the username is generated:
php artisan make:username --count 2 --digits 8 --casing studly # OrdinaryHerring02683641 # WittyGoat89531555
Options:
-c, --casing[=CASING] The casing to use: "lower", "upper", "studly", "kebab", "camel", "snake", or "slug".
-d, --digits[=DIGITS] The number of digits to use for a prefix.
-a, --adjectives[=ADJECTIVES] The number of adjectives to use.
-N, --nouns[=NOUNS] The number of nouns to use.
-C, --count[=COUNT] The number of usernames to generate. [default: "1"]
