## Overview
Have you ever needed to give something a code name? Perhaps for a project you're working on, or a new screen-name, but your imagination has let you down?
Use `codename-generator` to suggest some random code names.It has a small dictionary of a few thousand inoffensive adjectives and nouns which are picked at random to generate a suggested code name.
By default a screen-full of suggestions are made, so the larger your screen is, the more suggestions you'll have.```text
codename-generator
```
---
## Installation
```text
npm -g install codename-generator
```---
## Change Log
See what's changed recently via the `CHANGELOG.md` which can be found [here](./CHANGELOG.md)
---
## Options
You can use the `--help` option to list all of the options.
### Default (no options)
Don't supply any options and by default you'll get a screen-full of suggested code names (based upon the terminal's row count via the property `node -p process.stdout.rows`).
###
Or you can specify how many you'd like generated:
```text
codename-generator 20
```
### --list-adjectives
Lists all ~1870 adjectives in the dictionary.
### --list-nouns
Lists all ~960 nouns in the dictionary.
### --nsfw
Enables **Not Safe for Work** mode, which supplements the usual inoffensive dictionary with a selection of the ruder everyday english expressions.
### --no-color
Switches off colour output. Useful if piping output somewhere which doesn't handle the unicode control codes.
### --version
Display the version number.
### --help
Display the help screen.
