[](#rando-----)

Rando is a minimalist generator of random strings, numbers and so on to help reduce some monotony particularly while writing automated tests or anywhere else you need anything random

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Rando is available on composer under the `samshal/rando` alias.

Project Roadmap
---------------

[](#project-roadmap)

The goal of the Rando library is to be a complete, intelligent randomization tool for generating *truely* random things. This includes stuff like generating random *sentences with positive/neutral/negative sentiments directly from public streams of information such as twitter*, down to the even more complex ones such as *random person *objects* with several properties such as age, date of birth, phone numbers, first/lastnames and so on*

##### As more features are added, the checklist below will be updated

[](#as-more-features-are-added-the-checklist-below-will-be-updated)

- Basics
- Booleans
- Characters
- Integers
- Natural Numbers
- Doubles (Floats)
- Strings

- Texts
- Paragraphs
- Syllables
- Words

> This Project is developed and maintained by Samuel Adeshina. These days I rarely get enough time so the development of this library *will* move really really (progressively) slow. Although, I'm going to continuously add new features infrequently, issues resolution shall not be affected. Pull requests are highly welcome.
