# Kurt Vonnegut Ipsum
This is an open source project that generates lorem ipsum style text using prose from author [Kurt Vonnegut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut).
## How to generate text
### Using the website
Visit the website [https://vonnegutipsum.com/](https://vonnegutipsum.com/)
### Using the API
With default parameters:
```bash
$ curl -s https://vonnegutipsum.com//api
{
"text": "All this happened, more or less...",
"count": 5,
"mode": 3,
"mode_name": "paragraphs",
"nsfw": true,
"pilgrim_mode": true
}
```
Sending parameters:
```bash
curl -s https://vonnegutipsum.com/api?count=8&mode=1&nsfw=false
{
"text": "Poo-tee-weet. Welcome to Earth. Hello babies.",
"count": 8,
"mode": 1,
"mode_name": "words",
"nsfw": false,
"pilgrim_mode": true
}
```
### Using the node script
```js
import { generate } from "./lib/generate";
const output = generate({
count: 5,
mode: 2,
nsfw: true,
pilgrim_mode: true,
});
// Output: Hello babies. Goodbye blue monday. Science is magic that works. Poo-tee-weet. I don't know what it is about Hoosiers. So it goes.
```
### Using the terminal
```bash
$ node ./lib/generate.js --count=5 --mode=2
```
## FAQ
### Why?
Allow me to quote Mr. Vonnegut
> “Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.”
### What's Pilgrim mode?
Pilgrim mode will append "So it goes." to the end of each paragraph, in reference to Billy Pilgrim from Slaughterhouse-Five. This is ignored when generating using `word` mode. So it goes.
By default this mode is set to `true`
