Description

Ids based on a number of adjectives and an animal

Usage

adjective_animal(n = 1, n_adjectives = 1, style = "snake",
  max_len = Inf)

Arguments

n	number of ids to return. If NULL, it instead returns the generating function
n_adjectives	Number of adjectives to prefix the anmial with
style	Style to join words with. Can be one of "Pascal", "camel", "snake", "kebab", "dot", "title", "sentence", "lower", "upper", and "constant".
max_len	The maximum length of a word part to include (this may be useful because some of the names are rather long. This stops you generating a hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic_queenalexandrasbirdwingbutterfly). A vector of length 2 can be passed in here in which case the first element will apply to the adjectives (all of them) and the second element will apply to the animals.

Details

The list of adjectives and animals comes from https://github.com/a-type/adjective-adjective-animal, and in turn from gfycat.com

Examples

# Generate a random identifier:
adjective_animal()

# Generate a bunch all at once:
adjective_animal(5)

# Control the style of punctuation with the style argument:
adjective_animal(style = "lower")
adjective_animal(style = "CONSTANT")
adjective_animal(style = "camel")
adjective_animal(style = "kebab")

# Control the number of adjectives used
adjective_animal(n_adjectives = 3)

# This can get out of hand quickly though:
adjective_animal(n_adjectives = 7)

# Limit the length of adjectives and animals used:
adjective_animal(10, max_len = 6)

# The lengths can be controlled for adjectives and animals
# separately, with Inf meaning no limit:
adjective_animal(10, max_len = c(6, Inf), n_adjectives = 2)

# Pass n = NULL to bind arguments to a function
id <- adjective_animal(NULL, n_adjectives = 2, style = "dot", max_len = 6)
id()
id(10)
