## CLI

### Usage

Simple! Run without any parameters, you get a name:

```console

> names

selfish-change

```

Need more? Tell it how many:

```console

> names 10

rustic-flag

nondescript-crayon

picayune-map

elderly-cough

skinny-jeans

neat-rock

aware-sponge

psychotic-coast

brawny-event

tender-oatmeal

```

Not random enough? How about adding a 4-number pad:

```console

> names --number 5

imported-rod-9680

thin-position-2344

hysterical-women-5647

volatile-pen-9210

diligent-grip-4520

```

If you're ever confused, at least there's help:

```console

> names --help

names 0.11.0

Fletcher Nichol 

A random name generator with results like "delirious-pail"

USAGE:

    names [FLAGS] [AMOUNT]

ARGS:

        Number of names to generate [default: 1]

FLAGS:

    -h, --help       Prints help information

    -n, --number     Adds a random number to the name(s)

    -V, --version    Prints version information

```

### Installation

#### install.sh (Pre-Built Binaries)

An installer is provided at  which

installs a suitable pre-built binary for common systems such as Linux, macOS,

Windows, and FreeBSD. It can be downloaded and run locally or piped into a shell

interpreter in the "curl-bash" style as shown below. Note that if you're opposed

to this idea, feel free to check some of the alternatives below.

To install the latest release for your system into `$HOME/bin`:

```sh

curl -sSf https://fnichol.github.io/names/install.sh | sh

```

When the installer is run as `root` the installation directory defaults to

`/usr/local/bin`:

```sh

curl -sSf https://fnichol.github.io/names/install.sh | sudo sh

```

A [nightly] release built from `HEAD` of the main branch is available which can

also be installed:

```sh

curl -sSf https://fnichol.github.io/names/install.sh \

    | sh -s -- --release=nightly

```

For a full set of options, check out the help usage with:

```sh

curl -sSf https://fnichol.github.io/names/install.sh | sh -s -- --help

```

#### GitHub Releasees (Pre-Built Binaries)

Each release comes with binary artifacts published in [GitHub

Releases][github-releases]. The `install.sh` program downloads its artifacts

from this location so this serves as a manual alternative. Each artifact ships

with MD5 and SHA256 checksums to help verify the artifact on a target system.

#### Docker Image

A minimal image ships with each release (including a [nightly] built version

from `HEAD` of the main branch) published to [Docker Hub][docker]. The

entrypoint invokes the binary directly, so any arguments to `docker run` will be

passed to the program. For example, to display the full help usage:

```sh

docker run fnichol/names --help

```

#### Cargo Install

If [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) is installed on your system, then installing with

Cargo is straight forward with:

```sh

cargo install names

```

#### From Source

To install from source, you can clone the Git repository, build with Cargo and

copy the binary into a destination directory. This will build the project from

the latest commit on the main branch, which may not correspond to the latest

stable release:

```console

> git clone https://github.com/fnichol/names.git

> cd names

> cargo build --release

> cp ./target/release/names /dest/path/

```

---

## Library

This crate provides a generate that constructs random name strings suitable for

use in container instances, project names, application instances, etc.

The name `Generator` implements the `Iterator` trait so it can be used with

adapters, consumers, and in loops.

### Usage

This crate is [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/names) and can be used by

adding `names` to your dependencies in your project's `Cargo.toml` file:

```toml

[dependencies]

names = { version = "0.14.0", default-features = false }

```

### Examples

#### Example: painless defaults

The easiest way to get started is to use the default `Generator` to return a

name:

```rust

use names::Generator;

let mut generator = Generator::default();

println!("Your project is: {}", generator.next().unwrap());

// #=> "Your project is: rusty-nail"

```

If more randomness is required, you can generate a name with a trailing 4-digit

number:

```rust

use names::{Generator, Name};

let mut generator = Generator::with_naming(Name::Numbered);

println!("Your project is: {}", generator.next().unwrap());

// #=> "Your project is: pushy-pencil-5602"

```

#### Example: with custom dictionaries

If you would rather supply your own custom adjective and noun word lists, you

can provide your own by supplying 2 string slices. For example, this returns

only one result:

```rust

use names::{Generator, Name};

let adjectives = &["imaginary"];

let nouns = &["roll"];

let mut generator = Generator::new(adjectives, nouns, Name::default());

assert_eq!("imaginary-roll", generator.next().unwrap());

```
