🛠 Server Requirement
--------------------

[](#-server-requirement)

- [PHP 7.3](https://php.net/releases/7_3_0.php) and higher 🚀

🛠 Installation (with Composer)
------------------------------

[](#-installation-with-composer)

```
composer require ph-7/passcode-password-generator
```

📄 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### For Passcodes

[](#for-passcodes)

```
use PH7\Generator\Passcode;

echo Passcode::generate(10); // Generate a 10-length passcode
```

By default, without argument, the function will generate a 6-character passcode.

```
use PH7\Generator\Passcode;

// By default, it generates a 6 length passcode
echo Passcode::generate();

// You can use the public `Passcode::DEFAULT_LENGTH` const, whcih also gives a 6-length passcode
echo Passcode::generate(Passcode::DEFAULT_LENGTH);
```

### For Passwords

[](#for-passwords)

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

echo Password::generate(16); // Generate a 16-length password
```

By default, generated passwords will contain special characters. You can disable them by mentioning the second argument to `false`

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

// The password won't contain any special characters such as -, _, ~, |, %, ^, !, $, #, @, and ?
echo Password::generate(Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH, false);
```

Without argument, the function will generate a 12-character password.

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

// By default, it generates a 12-length password
echo Password::generate();

// Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH also gives a 12-length password
echo Password::generate(Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH);
```
