The project used new (at the time)\nJavaScript features like generators, so it relies on some tooling that has\nbecome pretty out of date.\n\nI still use the `lipsumator` CLI command occasionally, and I've been intending\nto modernise the project for a while. Quickly generating  placeholder text from\nyour terminal and piping it to the clipboard is really useful.\n\nDeno 1.0 has just been released, and Lipsumator seems like a great way to kick\nthe tires. Deno includes script distribution, bundling, testing, and command\nline argument parsing tools. Everything I need for the next version of\nLipsumator. I want to try it all out and see how it works.\n\n## Install\n\n```\ndeno install -n lipsumator https://denopkg.com/juice49/lipsumator-next@1.0.0/cli.ts\n```\n\n## Run\n\n### Generate three paragraphs\n\n```\nlipsumator --unit paragraphs --length 3\n```\n\n### Generate three paragraphs with custom phrases\n\n```\nlipsumator --unit paragraphs --length 3 --phrase 'Maranta Leuconeura' --phrase 'Monstera Deliciosa' --phrase 'Urtica Dioica'\n```\n\n### Generate ten sentences\n\n```\nlipsumator --unit sentences --length 10\n```\n\n### Generate fifty words\n\n```\nlipsumator --unit words --length 50\n```\n\n## Command line arguments\n\n| Argument | Alias | Default | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `unit` | `u` | `paragraphs` | Units of text to generate (`words`, `sentences`, or `paragraphs`). |\n| `length` | `l` | `1` | Quantity of text units to generate (`Infinity` for fun). |\n| `phrase` | `p` | | Append a phrase to the phrase list. |\n| `unformatted` | | `false` | Emit each unit of text without formatting or punctuation.  |\n\n## Future\n\nLipsumator itself can probably be an independent library that can run in any JS\nenvironment (like the browser and serverless functions). For now, I am combining\nthe Deno CLI and the Lipsumator library. Let's split those apart in the future.\n\n## Todo\n\n- Figure out [Deno dependency lock files](https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code/integrity_checking).\n- Add [Deno fmt](https://deno.land/manual/tools/formatter).\n- Add [tests](https://deno.land/manual/testing).\n- Look for a project phrase list in the `cwd`. Do we need to do anything with\n[Deno permissions](https://deno.land/manual/examples/permissions) to make this\nwork?\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjuice49%2Flipsumator-next","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjuice49%2Flipsumator-next","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjuice49%2Flipsumator-next/lists"}
