Haikunator
==========

[](#haikunator)

This project was inspired by [HaikunatorPHP](https://github.com/Atrox/haikunatorphp) and [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/).

It allows generation of human-friendly IDs.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require seyfahni/haikunator
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

As a consumer you can expect an `Haikunator` instance to be injected into your class.

To generate an id just call the `haikunate()` method:

```
use seyfahni\Haikunator\Haikunator;

/** @var Haikunator $haikunator */
$haikunator->haikunate();
```

### Creating an instance via `Haikunators`

[](#creating-an-instance-via-haikunators)

The `Haikunators` helper class contains methods for easy creation of common `Haikunator`s:

```
use seyfahni\Haikunator\Haikunators;

$atroxHaikunator = Haikunators::atroxHaikunator();
$jitsiHaikunator = Haikunators::jitsiHaikunator();
```

### Creating a `Haikunator` by hand

[](#creating-a-haikunator-by-hand)

There are multiple implementation of the `Haikunator` interface provided. Usually you want to put a combination of `WordListHaikunator`s and `CharactersHaikunator` into one `AppendingHaikunator`.

```
use seyfahni\Haikunator\AppendingHaikunator;
use seyfahni\Haikunator\CharactersHaikunator;
use seyfahni\Haikunator\ConstantHaikunator;
use seyfahni\Haikunator\MtRandIntegerGenerator;
use seyfahni\Haikunator\WordListHaikunator;

$numberGenerator = new MtRandIntegerGenerator();

# Generate IDs like my-useful-aHt
$haikunator = new AppendingHaikunator([
    new ConstantHaikunator('my'),
    new WordListHaikunator($numberGenerator, ['fancy', 'useful', 'modular']),
    new CharactersHaikunator($numberGenerator, 'Haikunator', 3),
    ], '-'
);
```

The `IntegerGenerator` interface is used by some `Haikunator` implementations so that any kind of number generation can be used via adapter implementation.

### Extension

[](#extension)

Use your own generation logic by implementing the `Haikunator` interface and using an instance of it via "creation by hand".
