Battery Staple
==============

[](#battery-staple)

A password generator, inspired by XKCD.

Install
-------

[](#install)

### Via Composer

[](#via-composer)

```
composer require yuloh/battery-staple
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$password = Yuloh\BatteryStaple\PasswordGenerator::generate();
// returns something like "beefjapanesesealedunwrap"
```

Security
--------

[](#security)

The library is 8 lines of code, so there isn't much that can go wrong. Here is what happens:

- A word list of 10,000 words is loaded.
- A random number is generated with `random_int` and the word on that line is used.
- Repeat the above until you have 4 words.

That being said, I am not a security expert. I cannot guarantee that this library is cryptographically secure and you shouldn't use it for anything important.

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Contributions Welcome. Some ideas:

- Allow choosing a delimiter
- Set min/max word length, so you don't get words like 'the'
- Case transformation options (using [neko](https://github.com/yuloh/neko)?)
