# generate-random-password

## for Node / Npm and Client Side JS

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/generate-random-password.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/generate-random-password)

Generate a random password consisting of upper and lowercase alpha-numeric characters and special characters with inputs for length, and percent chance of special characters occuring.

Special Characters are:  !  #  $  %  &  *  +  ?  ~   @

Makes use of seedrandom.js by David Bau for random number generation.

*DEFAULT*:

- Return alpha-numeric characters, roughly 80% chance for each letter

- Return special characters, roughly 20% chance for each letter

            generateRandomPassword( length [,special_chars_percent_chance] )

            where LENGTH: is required, and the number of characters desired in the password

                  SPECIAL_CHARS_PERCENT_CHANCE: is optional, and if not included, defaults to 20 (for 20% chance)

            NOTE for special_chars_percent_chance, desired percentage chance should be a WHOLE NUMBER, i.e. 25 for 25%

## usage:

```

npm i generate-random-password

```

...

```

let gpw = require( 'generate-random-password' );

// this will create a random password of length 8, and

// a 20% chance of special chars for each letter

let pw = gpw.generateRandomPassword( 8 );

```

OR

```

// this will create a random password of length 8, special characters

// having a 50% chance of showing up each letter

let pw = gpw.generateRandomPassword( 8, 50 );

```
