Usage

Include the crate; create a Haikunator instance; then call haikunate.

extern crate haikunator;

use haikunator::{Haikunator};

fn main() {
    // normal usage
    let haikunator = Haikunator::default();    
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "fancy-cloud-7181"

    // custom length (default=4)
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_length = 9;
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "rapid-mode-572457286"

    // use hex instead of numbers
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_hex = true;
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "misty-boat-bd01"

    // use custom chars instead of numbers/hex
    // unicode works too
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_chars = "HAIKUNATE忠犬ハチ公";
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "divine-tiger-NKKチ"

    // don't include a token
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_length = 0;
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "lingering-term"

    // use a different delimiter
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.delimiter = ":";
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "young:cell:5426"

    // no token, space delimiter
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_length = 0;
    haikunator.delimiter = " ";
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "wandering coke"

    // no token, empty delimiter
    let mut haikunator = Haikunator::default();
    haikunator.token_length = 0;
    haikunator.delimiter = "";
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "freetooth"

    // custom nouns and/or adjectives
    let haikunator = Haikunator {
        adjectives: &["dandy", "froody", "happy"],
        nouns: &["whale", "towel", "earth"],
        delimiter: "-",
        token_length: 3,
        token_hex: false,
        token_chars: "24",
    };
    println!("{}", haikunator.haikunate()); // => "happy-earth-444"
}
