README

Examples and full list of supported generators below.

Image:

• Image URL generator from Pixabay service (requires free API key).

Core:

• Boolean generator with selectable chance of true.
• Get a number in range, with or without Gaussian distribution.
• Random item from weighted array, allows you to manipulate chances.
• Random date time from a period, in any format.

Text and HTML:

• Generate random strings from custom or predefined pools of characters.
• Lorem ipsum text generator that supports: single word, variable length sentences, full paragraphs and complete articles.
• Full HTML generator for decorated sentences, paragraphs or full-out article with images (requires free Pixabay API key).

Bonus

• Generate a GPS coordinate, that is a maximum of meters away from any center you choose.
• A hardcoded generator that always returns the same results, just for good measure :)

Examples

Tip: After cloning, point browser to tests/index.php to see every possible result.

Image:

echo '<img src="' . (new PixabayImageURLGen($pixabayAPIKey, [ 'q' => 'kitten' ], PixabayImageURLGen::SIZE_960))->gen() . '" />';

GPS location within 3000 meters from the city centre of Amsterdam, Netherlands:

(new \Intellex\Generator\Plus\GpsLocationGen(52.3677607, 4.8785829, 3000));

Boolean with 50% chance of true:

(new BooleanGen())->gen();

Boolean with 80% chance of true:

(new BooleanGen(0.8))->gen();

Random number in range of 50 - 250:

(new NumericGen(50, 250))->gen();

Random number of mean 38 and mean 5 (Gaussian distribution):

(new GaussianDistributionGen(38, 4))->gen();

Random item from array:

(new ItemGen([ 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 ]))->gen();

Random weighted item from array, where is 2 times more likely than B and 6 times more likely than C:

(new WeightedItemGen([ 'A' => 6, 'B' => 3, 'C' => 1 ]))->gen();

Full HTML article, with images:

(new HTMLArticleGen(true, $pixabayAPIKey))->gen();

List of all generators

Core:

• BooleanGen generates a boolean value, with the ability to give more chances to any of the results.
• NumericGen generates a random number in a specified range.
• GaussianDistributionGen uses a normal distribution to pick a random value in a range.
• HardcodedGen uses the value supplied in the constructor as a generated value, every time.
• ItemGen picks an item from the pool, where every item has the same change of being picked.
• WeightedItemGen picks a random item from the pool, with the ability to influence the change of picking for each item.

Bonus:

• GpsLocationGen generates a GPS location, within a supplied radius of a given central point. Output format is ,, with a maximum of 6 decimal digit precision.
• PixabayImageURLGen generates a URL to a random image on the Pixabay free image service, using their API.

Time:

• TimestampGen generates a random timestamp in a given range.
• DateTimeGen generates a random date in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format.
• DateGen generates a random date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
• TimeGen generates a time in 24h format.

Strings and text:

• StringGen generates a random string.
• WordGen generates a single word, from a predefined "lorem ipsum" dictionary.
• SentenceGenerator generates a dummy sentence.
• ParagraphGen generates a random paragraph from random sentences.
• ArticleGen generates a random article form random paragraphs.

HTML:

• HTMLSentenceGen generates a random sentences with random HTML tags, such as b, strong, em, etc...
• HTMLParagraphGen generates a valid HTML paragraph.
• HTMLSectionGen generates an HTML header with random paragraphs.
• HTMLArticleGen generates a complete HTML article.

To do

1. Testing of the results.
2. Better implementation of the WeightedItemGen.
3. Setters for all constructor parameters for all generators.
4. New generators.
