pick_randomNames: Pick n random names from the randomNames package

In Close-your-eyes/igsc: Immunoglobolin sequences from scRNAseq

Pick n random names from the randomNames package

Description

The randomNames function from randomNames does not necessarily provide unique names (https://github.com/CenterForAssessment/randomNames/issues/55). Hence this function has been written to fix that issue as elegant as possible.

Usage

pick_randomNames(
  n,
  names_to_avoid = NULL,
  max_iter = 500,
  min_name_nchar = 3,
  avoid_chars = c(" ", "-", "'", ",", ";"),
  randomNames_args = list(which.names = "first")
)

Arguments

n	numeric (integer) of how many unique names to return
names_to_avoid	a vector of names to avoid
max_iter	maximum number of while-loop iterations to avoid an infinite loop
min_name_nchar	min length of name returned by randomNames
avoid_chars	character vector of forbidden characters in names or NULL; reject names with one or more of these characters
...	arguments passed to randomNames::randomNames

Value

a vector of n unique random names
