PasswordGen
===========

[](#passwordgen)

A simple class for cryptographically strong secure password generation

Installation - Composer
-----------------------

[](#installation---composer)

This class is available as a package using composer, just run

```
composer require zeraphie/passwordgen
```

### Javascript

[](#javascript)

This also comes as an bower package written in javascript, compiled with gulp as it uses ES2015 for a class structure and thusly has almost exactly the same usage

To install it, run

```
bower install passwordgen
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Setup

[](#setup)

```

#### Javascript

[](#javascript-1)

Simply add the [build/master.js](build/master.js) file to your build tool or add the file directly into your html and it will be ready to be used as below

### Basic

[](#basic)

#### PHP

[](#php-1)

```

```

#### JavaScript

[](#javascript-2)

```
console.log(new PasswordGen().password);
```

[](#changing-the-length)

#### PHP

[](#php-2)

```

#### JavaScript

[](#javascript-3)

```
console.log(new PasswordGen().setLength(32).password);
```

### Changing the keyspace

[](#changing-the-keyspace)

#### PHP

[](#php-3)

```
echo $passwordGen->setKeyspace('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')->password();
```

#### JavaScript

[](#javascript-4)

```
console.log(new PasswordGen().setKeyspace('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz').password);
```

### Generating a keyspace

[](#generating-a-keyspace)

#### PHP

[](#php-4)

```
echo $passwordGen->generateKeyspace('lunsw')->password();
```

#### JavaScript

[](#javascript-5)

```
console.log(new PasswordGen().generateKeyspace('lunsw').password);
```

### Changing length and generating keyspace

[](#changing-length-and-generating-keyspace)

#### PHP

[](#php-5)

```
echo $passwordGen->setLength(32)->generateKeyspace('lunsw')->password();
```

#### JavaScript

[](#javascript-6)

```
console.log(new PasswordGen().setLength(32).generateKeyspace('lunsw').password);
```

Note: The two setters are independent of each other so don't need to be in order Note 2: Since the javascript version utilizes static getters, you can simply use (as an example to see the character sets used in the generator) `PasswordGen.CHARACTERSETS` in order to see what the properties of the class are. You can also use `PasswordGen.arrayKeySearch(needles, haystack)` and `PasswordGen.randomInteger(min, max)`
