## Requirements

* PHP >= 7.1

We only support PHP 7.3+

## Installation

Install Composer

```
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
```

Now tell composer to download the library by running the command:

``` bash
$ composer require hackzilla/password-generator
```

Composer will add the library to your composer.json file and install it into your project's `vendor/hackzilla` directory.

## Simple Usage

```php
use Hackzilla\PasswordGenerator\Generator\ComputerPasswordGenerator;

$generator = new ComputerPasswordGenerator();

$generator
->setOptionValue(ComputerPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, true)
->setOptionValue(ComputerPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, true)
->setOptionValue(ComputerPasswordGenerator::OPTION_NUMBERS, true)
->setOptionValue(ComputerPasswordGenerator::OPTION_SYMBOLS, false)
;

$password = $generator->generatePassword();
```

## More Passwords Usage

If you want to generate 10 passwords that are 12 characters long.

```php
use Hackzilla\PasswordGenerator\Generator\ComputerPasswordGenerator;

$generator = new ComputerPasswordGenerator();

$generator
->setUppercase()
->setLowercase()
->setNumbers()
->setSymbols(false)
->setLength(12);

$password = $generator->generatePasswords(10);
```

## Hybrid Password Generator Usage

```php
use Hackzilla\PasswordGenerator\Generator\HybridPasswordGenerator;

$generator = new HybridPasswordGenerator();

$generator
->setUppercase()
->setLowercase()
->setNumbers()
->setSymbols(false)
->setSegmentLength(3)
->setSegmentCount(4)
->setSegmentSeparator('-');

$password = $generator->generatePasswords(10);
```

If you can think of a better name for this password generator then let me know.

The segment separator will be remove from the possible characters.

## Human Password Generator Usage

```php
use Hackzilla\PasswordGenerator\Generator\HumanPasswordGenerator;

$generator = new HumanPasswordGenerator();

$generator
->setWordList('/usr/share/dict/words')
->setWordCount(3)
->setWordSeparator('-');

$password = $generator->generatePasswords(10);
```

## Requirement Password Generator Usage

```php
use Hackzilla\PasswordGenerator\Generator\RequirementPasswordGenerator;

$generator = new RequirementPasswordGenerator();

$generator
->setLength(16)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, true)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, true)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_NUMBERS, true)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_SYMBOLS, true)
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, 2)
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, 2)
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_NUMBERS, 2)
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_SYMBOLS, 2)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, 8)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, 8)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_NUMBERS, 8)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_SYMBOLS, 8)
;

$password = $generator->generatePassword();
```

A limit can be removed by passing ```null```

```php
$generator
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, null)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, null)
;
```

When setting the minimum and maximum values, be careful of unachievable settings.

For example the following will end up in an infinite loop.
```php
$generator
->setLength(4)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, true)
->setOptionValue(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, false)
->setMinimumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_UPPER_CASE, 5)
->setMaximumCount(RequirementPasswordGenerator::OPTION_LOWER_CASE, 1)
;
```

For the moment you can call ```$generator->validLimits()``` to test whether the counts will cause problems.
If the method returns true, then you can proceed. If false, then generatePassword() will likely cause an infinite loop.

## Random Note
