Babble is a small utility that generates random words for you. I found this useful because occasionally you need a random word for testing.
On Unix/Linux this library makes uses the contents of /usr/share/dict/words. If this file is not present (e.g. in a Docker container) it can be populated by using the OS's package manager to install wbritish or wamerican
package your_app
import (
"github.com/tjarratt/babble"
)
func main() {
babbler := babble.NewBabbler()
println(babbler.Babble()) // excessive-yak-shaving (or some other phrase)
// optionally set your own separator
babbler.Separator = " "
println(babbler.Babble()) // "hello from nowhere" (or some other phrase)
// optionally set the number of words you want
babbler.Count = 1
println(babbler.Babble()) // antibiomicrobrial (or some other word)
return
})
