Lorem.NET =============== A .NET library for all things random! Usage --------------- ### Text Helpers ```csharp // this will generate a string with three words: string words = LoremNET.Generate.Words(3); // this will generate a string with two to five words: string words = LoremNET.Generate.Words(2, 5); // this will generate a string with five to ten words with "uppercaseFirstLetter" set to "false" and "includePunctuation" set to "true": string words = LoremNET.Generate.Words(5, 10, false, true); // a sentence is the same as "Words" except that it will include punctuation by default and will include a "." at the end of a string: string sentence = LoremNET.Generate.Sentence(5, 10); // a paragraph is a string composed of multiple sentences; this paragraph will have five to six words per sentence, and four to ten sentences: string paragraph = LoremNET.Generate.Paragraph(5, 6, 4, 10); // paragraphs is an array of paragraphs; this method will have eight to nine words per sentence, four to five sentences per paragraph, and one to three paragraphs: string[] paragraphs = LoremNET.Generate.Paragraphs(8, 9, 4, 5, 1, 3); ``` ### Extras ```csharp // this will generate a random valid email address: string email = LoremNET.Generate.Email(); // this will generate a random hex number (i.e. a color) string hex = LoremNET.Generate.HexNumber(); // this will generate a random DateTime object between 1/1/1950 and the current DateTime: DateTime dateTime = LoremNET.Generate.DateTime(); // this will generate a random DateTime object between 1/1/1995 and 12/31/2020: DateTime dateTime = LoremNET.Generate.DateTime(new DateTime(1995, 1, 1), new DateTime(2020, 12, 31)) // this will return "true" 55% of the time: bool isTruth = LoremNET.Generate.Chance(55, 100); // this will randomly select an item from the group: string[] numbers = GetNumbers(); string number = LoremNET.Generate.Random(numbers); // this will randomly select a value from the enum: MyEnum value = LoremNET.Generate.Enum(); ``` ### Updateing the Source If you want to change the underlying source text, go right ahead! ```csharp public void SomeStartupMethod() { LoremNET.Source.Update("Alright stop collaborate and listen ice is back with my brand new invention something grabs a hold of me tightly flow like a harpoon daily and nightly will it ever stop yo I don't know turn off the lights and I'll glow"); ... } ```
