Password Generator
==================

[](#password-generator)

This is just a simple PHP password generator. To generate a strong password simple, just type:

```
echo \McArdle\PasswordGenerator::all(8);

```

The number eight is the length of the password. If you want to specify how many of each chars must be in the string, you can instantiate each generator by itself like this:

```
$numbers = new \McArdle\Generators\NumberGenerator(5);
$lower = new \McArdle\Generators\LowerCaseGenerator(7);
$upper = new \McArdle\Generators\UpperCaseGenerator(9);
$special = new \McArdle\Generators\SpecialCharGenerator(2);

$generators = [$numbers, $lower, $upper, $special];

$passwordGenerator = new \McArdle\PasswordGenerator($generators);
echo $passwordGenerator->generate();

```

You can of course pass just one or whatever the number of generators you like. You can also create your own, just implement the interface below:

```
\McArdle\Generators\GeneratorInterface

```

Since version 8.2, it is also possible to create a password fluently, like this:

```
$password = \McArdle\PasswordGenerator::init()
    ->special(4)   // The amount of special characters
    ->number(2)    // The amount of numbers
    ->uppercase(6) // The amount of uppercase letters
    ->lowercase(3) // The amount of lowercase letters
    ->generate(8); // The length of the password

```
