Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This library requires PHP 5.6, or newer.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package uses [composer](https://getcomposer.org) so you can just add `nubs/random-name-generator` as a dependency to your `composer.json` file or execute the following command:

```
composer require nubs/random-name-generator
```

Generators
----------

[](#generators)

### All

[](#all)

The "all" generator will utilize all other configured generators to generate random names. It will select from the list of generators randomly and then use them to generate a random name using their functionality.

#### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$generator = \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\All::create();
echo $generator->getName();
```

Alternatively, if you want to configure/build the generators to use instead of using all of the available generators, you can construct them yourself:

```
$generator = new \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\All(
    [
        new \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\Alliteration(),
        new \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\Vgng()
    ]
);
```

### Video Game Names

[](#video-game-names)

The video game name generator is based off of [prior](http://videogamena.me/)[art](https://github.com/nullpuppy/vgng). It will generate unique names based off of "typical" video games.

#### Examples

[](#examples)

- *Kamikaze Bubblegum Warrior*
- *Rockin' Valkyrie Gaiden*
- *Neurotic Jackhammer Detective*
- *My Little Mountain Climber Conflict*
- *Small-Time Princess vs. The Space Mutants*

You can also use [this web example](http://sam.sbat.com/) to see more example video game names generated by this library.

#### Usage

[](#usage-1)

```
$generator = new \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\Vgng();
echo $generator->getName();
```

Alliterative Names
------------------

[](#alliterative-names)

The alliteration name generator is based off of a list of [adjectives](http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/parts-of-speech/adjectives/list-of-adjective-words.html)and a list of [animals](https://animalcorner.co.uk/animals/).

#### Examples

[](#examples-1)

- *Agreeable Anaconda*
- *Disturbed Duck*
- *Misty Meerkat*
- *Prickly Pig*

#### Usage

[](#usage-2)

```
$generator = new \Nubs\RandomNameGenerator\Alliteration();
echo $generator->getName();
```
