adjective-adjective-animal/src/lib.rs

//! This crate provides a generate that constructs random name strings suitable
//! for use in container instances, project names, application instances, etc.
//!
//! The name `Generator` implements the `Iterator` trait so it can be used with
//! adapters, consumers, and in loops.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This crate is [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/names) and can be
//! used by adding `names` to your dependencies in your project's `Cargo.toml`
//! file:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! names = "0.9.0"
//! ```
//!
//! and this to your crate root:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate names;
//! ```
//!
//! # Example: painless defaults
//!
//! The easiest way to get started is to use the default `Generator` to return
//! a name:
//!
//! ```
//! use names::Generator;
//!
//! let mut generator: Generator = Default::default();
//! println!("Your project is: {}", generator.next().unwrap());
//! // #=> "Your project is: rusty-nail"
//! ```
//!
//! If more randomness is required, you can generate a name with a trailing
//! 4-digit number:
//!
//! ```
//! use names::{Generator, Name};
//!
//! let mut generator = Generator::with_naming(Name::Numbered);
//! println!("Your project is: {}", generator.next().unwrap());
//! // #=> "Your project is: pushy-pencil-5602"
//! ```
//!
//! # Example: with custom dictionaries
//!
//! If you would rather supply your own custom adjective and noun word lists,
//! you can provide your own by supplying 2 string slices. For example,
//! this returns only one result:
//!
//! ```
//! use names::Generator;
//!
//! let adjectives = &["imaginary"];
//! let nouns = &["roll"];
//! let mut generator = Generator::new(adjectives, nouns, Default::default());
//!
//! assert_eq!("imaginary-roll", generator.next().unwrap());
//! ```
