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

[](#installation)

```
composer require monodesigns/randomstring

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Randomstring is quite simple.

```
use monodesigns\Randomstring;

// default usage
Randomstring::generate() // 'qfaP4A'

// custom length (default = 6)
Randomstring::generate(['length' => 4]) // '9suF'

// custom types (default = 'upper lower number')
Randomstring::generate(['types' => 'upper lower']) // 'hWVHkW'

// all types (default = 'upper lower number')
Randomstring::generate(['types' => 'all']) // 'I`}dlN'

// hex
Randomstring::generate(['hex' => true]) // 'e36ad8'

// custom characters
Randomstring::generate(['custom' => '!@']) // '1pZW!Y'

```

Options
=======

[](#options)

```
Randomstring::generate([
  'length' => 6,
  'types' => 'upper lower number',
  'hex' => false,
  'custom' => ''
]);

// get / set characters for different types
Randomstring::$upper
Randomstring::$lower
Randomstring::$number
Randomstring::$symbol
Randomstring::$hex

```

If `hex` is true, it overrides anything set in the `types` option
