SwiftRandom is a tiny help suite for generating random data such as

* Random human stuff like: names, gender, titles, tags, conversations

* Random data types like: Int, CGFloat, Bool, UIColor, NSDate, NSURL, element in Array



## Usage



```swift

func asExtension() {

	Int.random(2, 77) // Random between 2-77

	Int.random(2...77)

	Int32.random(13, 37) // Random between 13-37

	Int32.random(13...37)

	Double.random()

	Float.random(3.2, 4.5) // Random between 3.2-4.5

	CGFloat.random()

	NSDate.random()

	NSDate.randomWithinDaysBeforeToday(7)

	NSDate.random(between: Date().addingTimeInterval(TimeInterval(-5*24*60*60)), and:Date()) // Random date between now and 5 days ago

	UIColor.random()

	NSURL.random()

	

	// Array Extensions

	var someArray = ["hello", "world"]

	someArray[0..= 10 and <= 20

	// Example Output: 13

	Randoms.randomInt(10,20)

	

	// Return random Int32 >= 10 and <= 20

	// Example Output: 13

	Randoms.randomInt32(10,20)

	

	// Returns a random 16 character long string containing alphanumeric characters 

	Randoms.randomString(ofLength: 16)

	

	// Returns a random string containing alphanumeric characters ranging in length from 16 to 32.

	Randoms.randomString(minimumLength: 16, maximumLength: 32)

	

	// Returns a random 16 character long string containing the specified characters

	Randoms.randomString(withCharactersInString: "abc", ofLength: 16)

	

	// Returns a random string of length between 16 and 32 containing the specified characters

	Randoms.randomString(withCharactersInString: "abc", minimumLength: 16, maximumLength: 32)

	

	// Return random Double >= 10 and <= 20

	// Example Output: 11.511219042938

	Randoms.randomDouble(10,20)



	// Return random Float >= 10 and <= 20

	// Example Output: 17.0361

	Randoms.randomFloat(10,20)



	// Return random CGFloat between 1 >= and >= 0

	// Example Output: 0.622616

	Randoms.randomCGFloat()



	// Return true 30%, false %70

	// Example Output: false

	Randoms.randomPercentageisOver(70)



	// Return true or false

	// Example Output: false

	Randoms.randomBool()



	// Return random NSDate today > and > today - 7.

	// Example Output: 2015-10-08 03:55:09 +0000

	Randoms.randomDateWithinDaysBeforeToday(7)



	// Random Date since 1970

	// Example Output: 1997-02-01 15:27:08 +0000

	Randoms.randomDate()



	// Return UIColor. Alpha channel always 1.

	// Example Output: UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.645737 0.126625 0.52535 1

	Randoms.randomColor()



	// Return random NSURL

	// Example Output: http://leagueoflegends.com/

	Randoms.randomNSURL()



	// ==================== Fake Generators for Fake Datasources ==================== //



	// Return random name

	// Example Output: "Megan Freeman"

	Randoms.randomFakeName()



	// Return random first name

	// Example Output: "Megan"

	Randoms.randomFakeFirstName()



	// Return random last name

	// Example Output: "Freeman"

	Randoms.randomFakeLastName()



	// Return random fake name prefixed by English honorific

	// Example Output: "Dr. Megan Freeman"

	Randoms.randomFakeNameAndEnglishHonorific()



	// Return "Male" or "Female" as String

	// Example Output: "Female"

	Randoms.randomFakeGender()



	// Return random conversation

	// Example Output: "No! I'm tired of doing what you say."

	Randoms.randomFakeConversation()



	// Return random title

	// Example Output: "B2 Pilot @ USAF"

	Randoms.randomFakeTitle()



	// Return random tag as string

	// Example Output: "question"

	Randoms.randomFakeTag()

	

	// Return random currency as String

	// Example Output: "EUR"

	Randoms.randomCurrency()

	

	// Return random (non-existing) gravatar as UIImage?

	// The image is optional in case of network issues

	Randoms.randomGravatar { (image, error) -> Void in

		// Handle the image/error

	}

	

	// For consistance behaviour you can create custom Gravatar

	Randoms.createGravatar(Randoms.GravatarStyle.Retro) { (image, error) -> Void in

		// Handle the image/error

	}

}

### Requirements



- Swift version 2.0



## Installation



### Install via Carthage



* Create a `Cartfile` with the following specification and run `carthage update`.



```

github "thellimist/SwiftRandom" >= 1.0.0

```



* Follow the [instructions](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#if-youre-building-for-ios) to add the framework to an iOS project.



### Install via CocoaPods



You can use [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org/) to install `SwiftRandom` by adding it to your `Podfile`:

```ruby

platform :ios, '8.0'

use_frameworks!

pod  'SwiftRandom' #Stable release for Swift 3.0

```



To download older version you can use

```

pod 'SwiftRandom', :git => 'https://github.com/thellimist/SwiftRandom.git' #Latest release for Swift 3.0

pod 'SwiftRandom', :git => 'https://github.com/thellimist/SwiftRandom.git', :branch => '2.x' #For Swift 2.3



```



### Install Manually



- Download and drop 'Randoms.swift' in your project.



### Improvement

- Feel free adding your own random data functions and sending pull requests.



##### Possible features:

- Random wildlife pictures (Should not include the image inside project, should load it from web when needed)

- Make OSX compatiable and add here: https://github.com/AndrewSB/awesome-osx

- Random JSON

- Random Gifs (Should not include gifs inside the project, should load it from web when needed)

- Random Videos (Should not include videos inside the project, should load it from web when needed)

- Implement `SwiftRandom` as a protocol any class can conform to (`Post.random()` would give you a random post)



### License

- SwiftRandom is available under the MIT license. See the [LICENSE file](https://github.com/thellimist/SwiftRandom/blob/master/LICENSE).
