NOT YET PUSHED

I got tired last night and didn't finish the npm publish script. Will do in the morning...

human-readable-ids-js

Use JavaScript to generate human-readable ids from a lists of nouns and adjectives.

Generate ids in the format of adjective-noun-# such as

• silly-goose-37
• quick-cobra-15
• tricky-chicken-23
• brave-ladybug-90

My problem is that I often want ids that I can type without having to look at it twice (nor telling someone else twice).

I should be able to shout one of these ids across the room to a co-worker or spouse and have them be able to enter it in without any confusion.

Currently the id space is aboutt 100 * 100 * 100. The goal is to have several billion possible combinations.

Install

npm install --save human-readable-ids

bower install --save human-readable-ids

Contributing

Please add more words that fit these criteria

• Easy-to-spell - such that even my redneck dad can manage
• Phonetically distinct - no words like bore/boar
• Few syllables
• Well-known

All of the words are sorted alphabetically (sort -u) and stored in the *.txt files. The pre-publish script outputs the formatted javascript.

TODO

Acheive 1 trillion ids with a combination such as

number adjective noun verb adverb

And allow choosing various formats based on the desired number of ids.

• adjective noun number
• number adjective noun verb
