mIpsum

This is a Javascript Lorem Ipsum generator, created for mussumipsum.com, a brazilian dummy text generator. You can use it to develop anything that concerns Mussum Ipsum (like a plugin for Sublime or Atom or whatever), or to create your own customized Lorem Ipsum.

Add it to your project using NPM:

npm install mipsum --save

Yarn:

yarn add mipsum

Since v2.3.2 it can be also imported as a module. Example:

import { mIpsum } from 'mipsum'

const myLoremIpsum = mIpsum({
  pNum: 1,
  resultType: 'text',
})

You can also just download the code, add mipsum.min.js to your project and call it on your JS.

<script src="path/to/mipsum.min.js"></script>

mIpsum was created using vanilla Javascript, to allow you to decide if you want to include it in any context, some use examples:

vanilla JS

const mussumIpsum = mIpsum({ pNum: 10 }); // Put how many paragraphs you want
document.querySelector('body').innerHtml = mussumIpsum;

the same thing with jQuery

const mussumIpsum = mIpsum({ pNum: 10 });
$('body').append(mussumIpsum);

There are other customized options available to you. More examples at demo/index.html

Options

Key	Type	Default	Description
pNum	Number	`1`	Number of paragraphs requested
quotes	Array	`mussumQuotes`	Array of quotes to generate paragraphs
mainQuote	String	`mussumMainQuote`	Main quote to start your "Lorem Ipsum"
genLimit	Number	`1000`	Limit of paragraphs that can be requested
resultType	String	`html`	Format of the response, choose between: `html`, `text` or `array`
tagBefore	String	`<p>`	Anything you want to put before each paragraph (valid only with `html` resultType)
tagAfter	String	`</p>`	Anything you want to put after each paragraph (valid only with `html` resultType)
pQuotes	Number	`4`	Number of quotes used to build a paragraph

The options can be set on an object passed as a parameter, like the example below:

mIpsum({
  pNum: 1,
  quotes: [
    'Hi, my name is, what?',
    'My name is, who?',
    'Hi, my name is, huh?',
    'My name is, chka-chka',
  ],
  mainQuote: 'Slim Shady',
  genLimit: 1000,
  resultType: 'html',
  tagBefore: '<p>',
  tagAfter: '</p>',
  pQuotes: 4
});
