kuchen-name
===========

[](#kuchen-name)

Generate random German cake names — `saftige-kirsch-torte`, `süßer-apfel-kuchen`, `schlichtes-marzipan-brötchen`. Inspired by [petname](https://github.com/dustinkirkland/petname).

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require kolaente/kuchen-name

```

Requires PHP 8.2+.

Library
-------

[](#library)

```
use KuchenName\Generator;

$gen = Generator::default();
echo $gen->generate();                              // saftige-torte
echo $gen->generate(words: 3);                      // süßer-apfel-kuchen
echo $gen->generate(words: 4, separator: '_');      // saftiger_schoko_kirsch_kuchen
```

For deterministic output (tests, fixtures), inject a seeded `Randomizer`:

```
use Random\Randomizer;
use Random\Engine\Mt19937;

$gen = Generator::default(new Randomizer(new Mt19937(seed: 42)));
```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

Three text files under `resources/`:

- `adjektive.txt` — adjective stems (no ending), e.g. `saftig`, `süß`
- `sorten.txt` — flavors / ingredients, e.g. `schoko`, `kirsch`
- `kuchentypen.txt` — `Noun|gender` pairs, e.g. `Torte|f`

For 2 words: `-`. For N≥3: `-×(N-2)-`. The adjective is inflected to match the noun's grammatical gender (`-er`/`-e`/`-es`).

### Irregular adjectives

[](#irregular-adjectives)

Stems ending in `-el` or `-er` (e.g. `dunkel`, `edel`, `teuer`, `sauer`) drop their final `e` when an ending is added: `dunkle Torte`, not `dunkele Torte`. To handle these, write the entry on one line as `stem|masculine|feminine|neuter`:

```
dunkel|dunkler|dunkle|dunkles
edel|edler|edle|edles

```

Regular adjectives stay as a single token (`saftig`). Mixed entries in the same file are fine.

To add words, edit the text files and send a PR.
