- # randomatic [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/randomatic) [](https://npmjs.org/package/randomatic) [](https://npmjs.org/package/randomatic) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/randomatic)
- > Generate randomized strings of a specified length using simple character sequences. The original generate-password.
- Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
- ## Install
- Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
- ```sh
- $ npm install --save randomatic
- ```
- ## Usage
- ```js
- var randomize = require('randomatic');
- ```
- ## API
- ```js
- randomize(pattern, length, options);
- randomize.isCrypto;
- ```
- * `pattern` **{String}**: (required) The pattern to use for randomizing
- * `length` **{Number}**: (optional) The length of the string to generate
- * `options` **{Object}**: (optional) See available [options](#options)
- * `randomize.isCrypto` will be `true` when a cryptographically secure function is being used to generate random numbers. The value will be `false` when the function in use is `Math.random`.
- ### pattern
- > The pattern to use for randomizing
- Patterns can contain any combination of the below characters, specified in any order.
- **Example:**
- To generate a 10-character randomized string using all available characters:
- ```js
- randomize('*', 10);
- //=> 'x2_^-5_T[$'
- randomize('Aa0!', 10);
- //=> 'LV3u~BSGhw'
- ```
- * `a`: Lowercase alpha characters (`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'`)
- * `A`: Uppercase alpha characters (`ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'`)
- * `0`: Numeric characters (`0123456789'`)
- * `!`: Special characters (`~!@#$%^&()_+-={}[];\',.`)
- * `*`: All characters (all of the above combined)
- * `?`: Custom characters (pass a string of custom characters to the options)
- ### length
- > The length of the string to generate
- **Examples:**
- * `randomize('A', 5)` will generate a 5-character, uppercase, alphabetical, randomized string, e.g. `KDJWJ`.
- * `randomize('0', 2)` will generate a 2-digit random number
- * `randomize('0', 3)` will generate a 3-digit random number
- * `randomize('0', 12)` will generate a 12-digit random number
- * `randomize('A0', 16)` will generate a 16-character, alpha-numeric randomized string
- If `length` is left undefined, the length of the pattern in the first parameter will be used. For example:
- * `randomize('00')` will generate a 2-digit random number
- * `randomize('000')` will generate a 3-digit random number
- * `randomize('0000')` will generate a 4-digit random number...
- * `randomize('AAAAA')` will generate a 5-character, uppercase alphabetical random string...
- These are just examples, [see the tests](./test.js) for more use cases and examples.
- ## options
- > These are options that can be passed as the third argument.
- #### chars
- Type: `String`
- Default: `undefined`
- Define a custom string to be randomized.
- **Example:**
- * `randomize('?', 20, {chars: 'jonschlinkert'})` will generate a 20-character randomized string from the letters contained in `jonschlinkert`.
- * `randomize('?', {chars: 'jonschlinkert'})` will generate a 13-character randomized string from the letters contained in `jonschlinkert`.
- #### exclude
- Type: `String|Array`
- Default: `undefined`
- Specify a string or array of characters can are excluded from the possible characters used to generate the randomized string.
- **Example:**
- * `randomize('*', 20, { exclude: '0oOiIlL1' })` will generate a 20-character randomized string using all of possible characters except for `0oOiIlL1`.
- ## Usage Examples
- * `randomize('A', 4)` (_whitespace insenstive_) would result in randomized 4-digit uppercase letters, like, `ZAKH`, `UJSL`... etc.
- * `randomize('AAAA')` is equivelant to `randomize('A', 4)`
- * `randomize('AAA0')` and `randomize('AA00')` and `randomize('A0A0')` are equivelant to `randomize('A0', 4)`
- * `randomize('aa')`: results in double-digit, randomized, lower-case letters (`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz`)
- * `randomize('AAA')`: results in triple-digit, randomized, upper-case letters (`ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`)
- * `randomize('0', 6)`: results in six-digit, randomized numbers (`0123456789`)
- * `randomize('!', 5)`: results in single-digit randomized, _valid_ non-letter characters (`~!@#$%^&()_+-={}[]
- * `randomize('A!a0', 9)`: results in nine-digit, randomized characters (any of the above)
- _The order in which the characters are defined is insignificant._
